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-2: -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-3: -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.
