Answer 2

Monosaccharides are the simplest form of sugar, which cannot be hydrolysed further to give a simpler sugar. It is also the simplest unit of carbohydrates. 

 

Like disaccharides and polysaccharides, they form the basic building blocks of more complex carbohydrates. They are usually colourless, appear like crystals and are water soluble.
