Concept Introduction:

Monosaccharides are the small units of simple sugars. Disaccharides are formed by two units of monosaccharides. Polysaccharides are made up of small units of monosaccharides. These small units are joined together by glycoside linkage. Glucose is a monosaccharide. The molecular formula of glucose is ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}{\text{O}}_{\text{6}}$.
