What monomer makes up carbohydrates?
A
Monosaccharides
B
Amino Acids
C
Fatty acids and glycerol
D
Nucleotides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Complete answer: Carbohydrates are the polymers that are made up of monomers called a monosaccharide. The common monomers of carbohydrates are simple sugars like glucose and fructose. It is also one of the four basic macromolecules of life.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Monosaccharides can join together to make larger, more complex carbohydrates. This means that yes, they are monomers. Monomer is a generic term for an individual building blocks. Monomers chain together to make larger molecules, called polymers.

Detailed explanation-5: -The monomer of carbohydrates is a monosaccharide with the basic formula of a carbon, two hydrogen and an oxygen molecule (CH 2 0) 12 .
