What are the single sugars that are the building blocks of carbohydrates?
A
monosaccharides
B
disaccharides
C
polysaccharides
D
amino acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Monosaccharides. Monosaccharides include glucose, galactose and fructose-all commonly found in food. Monosaccharides are single sugar molecules that are the building blocks for all other sugars and carbohydrates. Glucose, fructose and galactose are examples of these.

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: -Monosaccharides: The Sweet Ones 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The building blocks of carbohydrates are Monosaccharides. Was this answer helpful?
