What is an example of a simple sugar?

Sucrose
Maltose
Glucose
Starch

The correct answer is: Glucose

An example of a simple sugar is glucose. Sucrose and maltose are both disaccharides, which means they are made up of two simple sugar molecules bonded together. Starch, on the other hand, is a complex carbohydrate made up of many glucose molecules bonded together. Therefore, glucose is the only option that fits the definition of a simple sugar.
