Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Monosaccharides. A monosaccharide is the monomer of a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates, such as sugars and starches, store energy. Others, such as cellulose and chitin, are structural in nature.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Disaccharides form when two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction (a condensation reaction); they are held together by a covalent bond. Sucrose (table sugar) is the most common disaccharide, which is composed of the monomers glucose and fructose.
