The basic unit of carbohydrate is a single sugar molecule, a monosaccharide (monomeans one). When two sugar molecules combine, they form a disaccharide (di meanstwo). Monosaccharides and disaccharides are known as simple sugars or simple carbohydrates. The three most common monosaccharides in the diet are glucose, fructose,and galactose. Each contains 6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 6 oxygen atoms but differs in their arrangement (Figure 4.4). Glucose is the most important carbohydrate fuel for the body; it is distributed to body cells in the blood and is the sugar we call bloodsugar (Grosvenor & Smolin,2009, p. 86-87.)So, what are some examples of monosaccharides and, disaccharides that are not mentioned above? Also, what foods can you find these two types of sugars in?
