Solution

The correct answer is Glucose.

Here's why:

  1. Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates and cannot be further hydrolyzed to simpler compounds. They are the building blocks of disaccharides and polysaccharides.

  2. Glucose is a monosaccharide. It is a simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.

  3. Cellulose and Glycogen are polysaccharides, not monosaccharides. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates that are made up of more than two monosaccharides.

  4. Lactose and Maltose are disaccharides, not monosaccharides. Disaccharides are made up of two monosaccharides. For example, lactose is made up of glucose and galactose, and maltose is made up of two glucose molecules.
