41. In aqueous solutions monosaccharides exist as rings. 42. Monosaccharides include glucose, fructose and galactose.43. Oligosaccharides are linear or branched chains of monosaccharides attached to one another via glycosidic linkages. 44. The number of monosaccharide units can vary. 45. Sucrose is a disaccharide, a molecule derived from two simple sugars ( monosaccharides ). 46. All monosaccharides are reducing sugars, along with some disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. 47. Disaccharides are formed from two monosaccharides and can be classified as either reducing or nonreducing. 48. Polysaccharides, the union of several linked monosaccharides , sometimes serve as a structural compound. 49. It is an unnatural monosaccharide that is soluble in water and slightly soluble in methanol. 50. These side chains contain three monosaccharide residues.
