These are crystalline and water-soluble compounds that form pyranose rings:
Correct answer: A. Monosaccharides
- A. Monosaccharides
- B. Disaccharides
- C. Oligosaccharides
- D. Polysaccharides
Explanation
Monosaccharides form rings consisting of five or six carbon atoms (hence they are pyranoses). They are soluble in water because of their numerous OH groups. They are crystalline solids at room temperature.
