Introduction
1.Mono saccharide is a sugar which cannot be broken down further into smaller sub units. 2.Mono saccharides are further classified on the basis of number of carbon atoms and the functional group present in them 3.If a mono saccharide contains an aldehyde group, it is known as an aldose. 4.If a mono saccharide contains a keto group, it is known as a ketose.
