Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Sugar Monomers: Glucose is the most common natural monomer. It links together to form polymers of Starch, Cellulose and Glycogen.
Detailed explanation-3: -Three of the most important monosaccharides are three sugars known as glucose, fructose, and galactose. Each of these monosaccharides at the same chemical formula: C6H12O6.
Detailed explanation-4: -The monomer of carbohydrates is a monosaccharide with the basic formula of a carbon, two hydrogen and an oxygen molecule (CH 2 0) 12 .
