| 4 | simple sugar | 24 sets |
| 5 | single sugar molecule (monomer) | 23 sets |
| 6 | a simple sugar that is the basic subunit of a carbohydrate | 20 sets |
| 7 | single sugar molecules | 13 sets |
| 8 | a simple sugar | 11 sets |
| 9 | building block of a carbohydrate; simple sugar | 10 sets |
| 10 | the simplest carbohydrate, active alone or serving as a monomer for disaccharides and polysaccharides. also known as simple sugars, the molecular formulas of monosaccharides are generally some multiple of ch20. | 10 sets |

| 20 | the simplest carbohydrate, active alone or serving as a monomer for disaccharides and polysaccharides. also known as simple sugars, the molecular formulas of monosaccharides are generally some multiple of ch2o. | 4 sets |
| 21 | a simple sugar such as fructose or glucose. | 4 sets |
| 22 | the simplest carbohydrate; a simple sugar with a molecular formula that is generally some multiple of ch2o; building blocks of disaccharides and polysaccharides. | 4 sets |
| 23 | monomer: single sugar | 4 sets |
| 24 | is a simple sugar contains carbon hydrogen and oxygen in a ratio of 1:2:1 | 3 sets |
| 25 | a simple sugar that is the basic subunit, or monomer, of a carbohydrate. | 3 sets |
