Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The monomer of polysaccharides is monosaccharides. Glucose is a monomer of many polysaccharides like cellulose, glycogen, starch.
Detailed explanation-2: -A monomer is a type of molecule that has the ability to chemically bond with other molecules in a long chain; a polymer is a chain of an unspecified number of monomers. Essentially, monomers are the building blocks of polymers, which are more complex type of molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
