HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Monomers are the building blocks of the four basic macromolecules of life-monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates, amino acids are the monomers of proteins, glycerol/fatty acids are the monomers of lipids, and nucleotides are the monomers of DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The basic building blocks of carbohydrates are monosaccharides. The monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates and cannot be hydrolyzed into smaller units. Monosaccharides are the monomeric units that link together by glycosidic linkages to form complex carbohydrates such as oligosaccharides and polysaccharides.
