These are easily soluble in water:
Correct answer: B. Monosaccharides
- A. Carbohydrates
- B. Monosaccharides
- C. Oligosaccharides
- D. Polysaccharides
Explanation
Monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose are crystalline solids at room temperature, but they are quite soluble in eater, each molecule having several OH groups that readily engage in hydrogen bonding.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
