The monomer building blocks of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are the most simple units of carbohydrates, and include: glucose, fructose, and galactose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Think of a monomer as being a brick, and a polymer, or macromolecule, as being the whole brick wall composed of the building blocks. The brick wall is composed of smaller units (the bricks) just as a macromolecule is composed of monomer ‘building blocks.
