Monosaccharides named by the number of carbons in the molecule and ending with ""-ose"" - examples fructose, gluctose and Galactose.

Monosaccharides named by the level of sweetness contained in the molecule the source of the sugar followed by the designation of its shape the number of water molecules that can be extracted from the sugar and ending with ""-ase"" - Sucrase, Lactase, Maltase

Explanation:

Glucose, Galactose and Fructose are both Hexose Sugars have 6 number of carbon Atoms

Sucrase - Sucrase is a digestive enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose to its subunits fructose and glucose.

Lactase - Lactase is essential to the complete digestion of whole milk; it breaks down lactose, a sugar which gives milk its sweetness.

Maltase - Maltase catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose to the simple sugar glucose.
