The monomer of a carbohydrate is called ____
A
a monosaccharide
B
a fatty acid
C
an amino acid
D
a nucleotide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Monomer of carbohydrates= monosaccharides. Polymer= (depends) disaccharide, oligosaccharide, polysaccharide. Carbohydrates are one of the four basic macromolecules of life. They are a polymer made up of monomers called monosaccharides. These building blocks are simple sugars, e.g., glucose and fructose.

Detailed explanation-2: -The monomers of carbohydrates are the monosaccharide units that are the basic building blocks of all sugars and starches. The polymers of carbohydrates are disaccharides and polysaccharides that consist of two or more monomers respectively. Examples of monosaccharide are: glucose, fructose and galactose.

Detailed explanation-3: -1. Glucose is one of several different carbohydrate monomers called monosaccharides. To build the ring version of glucose, start by constructing a closed ring formed by five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Be sure to use only single (short, non-flexible) bonds in your molecule.
