What are the origins of this word?

Needs some info re them being reducing sugars and also something (at least a link) to/about Benedict's reagent --Bob - 21:36, 11 May 2008 (UTC)-- Agreed, I don't think it needs more than a line but it is needed Jasoninkid ( talk) 15:44, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't the definition of monosaccharide also include the deoxy sugars, such as deoxyribose? Also, can we assume that "carbohydrate" is the same thing as "saccharide"? (In biochemistry they seem to be considered synonymous, but some non-bio chemists apparently consider formaldehyde and glycol aldehyde as "carbohydrates", while no one presumably would include them in the "saccharides". Also in food contexts "carbohydrate" means specifically digestible starches and sugars, excluding e.g. cellulose with is included in "fiber".).

I noticed that the lead said some monosaccharides are sweet that implies that some exist salty, bitter, sour, or umami is this really the case? or is the lead misleading?-- 209.181.16.93 ( talk) 19:49, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
why does the phosphate group attach to C1 carbon of glucose while amino group to C2 carbon?(help) Ranjitr303 ( talk) 06:22, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
I'm a layman and I can understand much of this article. That means it's well written. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.233.69.52 ( talk) 22:48, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Just wondering if perhaps the search "CH20" should redirect to Formaldehyde instead of this page, as Formaldehyde is CH20. Thanks 173.66.228.231 ( talk) 01:57, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
For something so fundamental and reoccurring, it's bothering me that all I'm seeing is various facts about classifying monosaccharides and not their behaviors with other molecules. For that reason, this is a horribly written article. X-Fi6 ( talk) 02:45, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

The latter article describes only the naming system of simple sugars, for which the section Monosaccharide § Structure and nomenclature already exists. I propose that content from the latter be copyedited thoroughly, then moved to the above section to avoid duplication of content. — CrafterNova [ TALK ] [ CONT ] 15:14, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
I was looking for an exhaustive list of all tri-oses thru hept-oses, and it would be useful to have a few words on where/if they are found. The Nomenclature article is not clear that its table is in fact "all". 71.230.16.111 ( talk) 08:04, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
