When you break down maple syrup into smaller units, these units are called

This question lacks options, the options are:

a. nucleotides b. monosaccharides c. RNA d. triglycerides

The answer is B. Monosaccharides

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are the simplest units of carbohydrates. They contain one units of sugar, hence, are commonly called simple sugars. Monosaccharides include glucose, fructose etc. They contain basically carbon, hydrogen and oxygen elements in their structure.

Maple syrup is a syrup majorly composed of carbohydrates used generally as a sweetening purposes. It is extracted from trees of sugar maple and other maple species. Since the syrup is principally composed of sugar (carbohydrate), it is broken down to the simplest unit of any carbohydrate molecule called MONOSACCHARIDE.
