HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Simple sugars, known as monosaccharides, are the building blocks of carbohydrate polymers. Unlike DNA, RNA, and proteins which are linear polymers, carbohydrates are formed by both linear and branched combinations of a wide variety of naturally occurring monosaccharides.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because monosaccharides (and other carbohydrates) have many OH groups, they can be joined to one another by covalent bonds. In particular, glycosidic bonds are the type of covalent bonds that join together carbohydrate molecules with other groups, which may or may not be of the same type.
