Question

monosaccharides are the smallest building blocks of sugars and have similar chemical compositions. considering that simple sugars are a component of carbohydrates, what is the general chemical composition of monosaccharides?
○ nh₃(h₂o)ₙ
○ cₘ(h₂o)ₙ
○ coₙ(nh₂)ₙ
○ ch₃(ch₂)cooh

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are carbohydrates. Carbohydrates have the general formula of $C_m(H_2O)_n$, representing a ratio of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen where hydrogen and oxygen are in the same ratio as in water.

Answer:

B. $C_m(H_2O)_n$
