| The most important monosaccharides are hexoses such as glucose and galactose. |
| For example, fruit pulp of many species contains the disaccharide sucrose and the hexoses, glucose and fructose. |
| There was no measurable incorporation of C into sucrose, hexoses or the raffinose family of oligosaccharides at any stage of the incubations. |
| Depending on number of carbons, monosaccharides are called trioses, tetroses, pentoses, and hexoses etc. |
| These hexoses were taken up and sucrose was synthesized and exported into the hypocotyl. |
| They have six atoms of carbon in each molecule and are therefore called hexoses. |
