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 are the building blocks of carbohydrates. Mono means on, and saccharide refers to sugar. Monosaccharides can join together to make larger, more complex carbohydrates. This means that yes, they are monomers.
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.
