1 Monosaccharides (glucose, fructose, and galactose  isomers of each other) 2  Glucose (also called dextrose and blood sugar) has a six carbon (hexose) ring structure.  Fructose (also called levulose) has a six carbon ring structure.
The word monosaccharide is derived from mono, meaning one, and saccharide, meaning sugar. The common monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, and galactose. Each simple sugar has a cyclic structure and is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in ratios of 1:2:1 respectively. Although each sugar mainly exists as a cyclic compound, it is important to note that they are all in equilibrium to a small extent with their linear forms.
