Which of the following are the building blocks of carbohydrates?
A
amino acids
B
nucleotides
C
glycerol and fatty acids
D
monosaccharides
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: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -The basic building block of carbohydrates is the monosaccharide, which consists of six carbon atoms. Sugars are sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates that are found in many foods and supply us with energy. Simple sugars, such as glucose, consist of just one monosaccharide.
