Simple sugars are also called ____, the monomers of all carbohydrates.
A
monsaccharide
B
disaccharide
C
polysaccharide
D
starch
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Monosaccharides (from Greek monos: single, sacchar: sugar), also called simple sugars, are the simplest forms of sugar and the most basic units (monomers) from which all carbohydrates are built. (though not all molecules with this formula are monosaccharides).

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. Monosaccharides are classified based on the number of carbons in the molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -Simple sugars are called monosaccharides; these are made up of single sugar molecules. The three main monosaccharides that we consume are fructose, galactose and glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -A monosaccharide is the monomer that makes up a polysaccharide. In short-Monomer is a general term, while monosaccharide is a specific term for the monomer that makes up a carbohydrate. A monosaccharide is a single sugar molecule. This includes glucose, fructose, and galactose.

Detailed explanation-5: -In chemistry, it often means containing only one, so the term monosaccharide means one saccharide or one sugar, indicating that it is a molecule composed of only one sugar unit and not of two or more sugar units joined together).
