Answer:

hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

A monosaccharide is a carbohydrate consisting of one sugar unit. Common examples of simple sugars or monosaccharides are glucose and fructose. Both of these monosaccharides are referred to as hexoses, since they have six carbons. ... Glucose and fructose are both very soluble in water.
