When the sugar maltose is digested by the human body, each maltose molecule
is broken down into smaller molecules. To which of the following categories do
these smaller molecules belong?
a) amino acids
b) monosaccharides
c) nucleic acids
d) fatty acids

Monosaccharide is a type of sugar molecule which cannot be broken down further or we can say that it is the smallest units of sugar molecule. Examples of monosaccharide are glucose and fructose. Maltose is a type of disaccharide which is formed from the combination of two glucose molecules. These glucose molecules make bonds with each other. The name of this bond is α bond. When these bonds are broken down, monosaccharide such as glucose is formed
