Detailed explanation-1: -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. Disaccharides are double sugars, such as sucrose (table sugar).

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The monomer of carbohydrates is a monosaccharide with the basic formula of a carbon, two hydrogen and an oxygen molecule (CH 2 0) 12 .

Detailed explanation-4: -Monomers are the basic building blocks of larger organic molecules. Monosaccharides are the monomers that make up carbohydrates. Glucose is an example of a monosaccharide. Glycerol and fatty acids are the monomers that make up lipids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Carbohydrates are the polymers that are made up of monomers called a monosaccharide. The common monomers of carbohydrates are simple sugars like glucose and fructose. It is also one of the four basic macromolecules of life. Monosaccharides-these are the simple sugars.
