Which is a Carbohydrate’s monomer?
A
Fatty acid
B
Amino acids
C
Monosacharide
D
Nucleotide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Monosaccharides-these are the simple sugars.

Detailed explanation-2: -The monomer of carbohydrates is a monosaccharide with the basic formula of a carbon, two hydrogen and an oxygen molecule (CH 2 0) 12 . Glucose, a product of photosynthesis, is simple sugar and a monomer with the chemical formula C 6 H 12 O 6. Glucose is commonly known as corn sugar or blood sugar.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. Nucleotides are the monomers that make up nucleic acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrates can also be made up of two monomers called disaccharides. Some examples are lactose, which makes milk sweet; sucrose, which is your regular table sugar; and maltose, which is a product of starch breakdown.

Detailed explanation-5: -Examples of monosaccharides include glucose (dextrose), fructose (levulose), and galactose. Monosaccharides are the building blocks of disaccharides (such as sucrose and lactose) and polysaccharides (such as cellulose and starch).
