Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The monomer (building block) of a carbohydrate is called a
A
monosaccharide
B
fatty acid
C
enzyme
D
bread
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The simplest carbohydrates are called monosaccharides, or simple sugars. They are the building blocks (monomers) for the synthesis of polymers or complex carbohydrates, as will be discussed further in this section. Monosaccharides are classified based on the number of carbons in the molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monosaccharides are single sugar molecules that are the building blocks for all other sugars and carbohydrates. Glucose, fructose and galactose are examples of these.

Detailed explanation-3: -Simple and complex carbohydrates-simple are sugars: mono-and disaccharides with glucose, fructose, and galactose as the monosaccharide building blocks.

Detailed explanation-4: -A monosaccharide is the monomer that makes up a polysaccharide. In short-Monomer is a general term, while monosaccharide is a specific term for the monomer that makes up a carbohydrate. A monosaccharide is a single sugar molecule. This includes glucose, fructose, and galactose.

Detailed explanation-5: -Monomers are the basic building blocks of larger organic molecules. Monosaccharides are the monomers that make up carbohydrates. Glucose is an example of a monosaccharide. Glycerol and fatty acids are the monomers that make up lipids.
