Detailed explanation-1: -Monomers are the basic building blocks of larger organic molecules. Monosaccharides are the monomers that make up carbohydrates. Glucose is an example of a monosaccharide. Glycerol and fatty acids are the monomers that make up lipids.
Detailed explanation-2: -The simplest carbohydrates are called monosaccharides, or simple sugars. They are the building blocks (monomers) for the synthesis of polymers or complex carbohydrates, as will be discussed further in this section.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates are essential macromolecules that are classified into three subtypes: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Carbohydrates are a major class of biological macromolecules that are an essential part of our diet and provide energy to the body.
