If it is criminal to leave a 13-year old alone to babysit children, then I am one guilty editor with a lot of guilty girlfriends.

Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates and may be subcategorized as aldoses or ketoses. The sugar is an aldose if it contains an aldehyde functional group. A ketose signifies that the sugar contains a ketone functional group.
A monosaccharide, most often called a simple sugar, is the simplest form of carbohydrate. Monosaccharides all have the same basic structure, symbolized with the chemical formula (CH2O)n, in which ânâ stands for the number of carbon atoms.onosaccharides with the formula C6H12O6 include glucose, galactose and fructose, which are sugars used by organisms for energy. Xylose is a five-carbon monosaccharide, called a pentose, found in plant cells; this monosaccharide combines with xylan to form woody materials, such as those that make up trees.
