Detailed explanation-2: -The simplest, most basic units of carbohydrates are monosaccharides or single sugars (e.g., glucose and fructose). Monosaccharides are the building blocks used to make increasingly more complex carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Monomers are building blocks of bigger molecules, kind of like the individual box cars that make up a train. The monomer building blocks of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are the most simple units of carbohydrates, and include: glucose, fructose, and galactose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monosaccharide: The most basic, fundamental unit of a carbohydrate. These are simple sugars with the general chemical structure of C6H12O6. Simple Carbohydrates: One or two sugars (monosaccharides or disaccharides) combined in a simple chemical structure.
