单糖
a simple sugar molecule, the most basic form of carbohydrates that cannot be further hydrolyzed
Monosaccharides are simple sugars, which are the most basic form of carbohydrates. They consist of single sugar molecules that cannot be broken down further into smaller sugars. Common examples of monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose. These sugars are easily absorbed by the body and serve as a quick source of energy. Monosaccharides are found naturally in fruits, vegetables, and honey, and they are also added to processed foods as sweeteners. In addition to providing energy, monosaccharides play important roles in cellular processes and are essential for overall health and well-being.
