BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Simple sugars, known as monosaccharides, are the building blocks of carbohydrate polymers. Unlike DNA, RNA, and proteins which are linear polymers, carbohydrates are formed by both linear and branched combinations of a wide variety of naturally occurring monosaccharides.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simple and complex carbohydrates-simple are sugars: mono-and disaccharides with glucose, fructose, and galactose as the monosaccharide building blocks.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates since they cannot be hydrolyzed to smaller carbohydrates. Chemically they are aldehydes or ketones possessing two or more hydroxyl groups, and are important as building blocks for the synthesis of nucleic acids, as well as fuel molecules, that is, in glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The basic building blocks of carbohydrates are monosaccharides. The monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates and cannot be hydrolyzed into smaller units. Monosaccharides are the monomeric units that link together by glycosidic linkages to form complex carbohydrates such as oligosaccharides and polysaccharides.
