The type of carbohydrate that consists of one molecule is called monosaccharide
By definition, the type of carbohydrates that consist of only a single molecule are called monosaccharides.
Carbohydrates are biomolecules, which are also known as carbohydrates, carbohydrates, sugars or saccharides and are made up of three fundamental elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, the latter in a somewhat lower proportion.
There are four types, depending on their chemical structure: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.
Monosaccharides are the simplest, as they are made up of a single molecule and cannot be hydrolyzed or broken down into smaller carbohydrates. They have a formula of (CH₂O)ₙ and usually contain three to seven carbon atoms.
Finally, the type of carbohydrates that consist of only a single molecule are called monosaccharides.
