Answer: sucrose
Which of the following is not a monosaccharide? Glucose Fructose Galactose Sucrose

Monosaccharides (from Greek monos: single sacchar: sugar) also called simple sugars are the simplest form of sugar and the most basic units (monomers) of carbohydrates. The general formula is C nH 2nO n albeit not all molecules fitting this formula (e.g. acetic acid) are carbohydrates. They are usually colorless water-soluble and crystalline solids. Contrary to their name (sugars) only some monosaccharides have a sweet taste.

Galactose - Wikipedia

Fructose or fruit sugar is a simple ketonic monosaccharide found in many plants where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose. It is one of the three dietary monosaccharides along with glucose and galactose that are absorbed directly into blood during digestion. Fructose was discovered by French chemist Augustin-Pierre Dubrunfaut in 1847. The name "fructose" was coined in 1857 by the English chemist William Allen Miller. Pure dry fructose is a sweet white odorless crystal...
