monosaccharide units.
 Polysaccharides (Greek, Poly = many) >10
monosaccharide units.

,  MONOSACCHARIDES

• They are the simplest sugars and cannot be
hydrolyzed into smaller units.

• Has general formula of Cn(H2O)n or CnH2nOn.

• Monosaccharides are important fuel
molecules as well as building blocks for nucleic
acids.
