Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which biomolecule’s monomer (or building block) is monosaccharide?
A
Lipids
B
Proteins
C
Carbohydrate
D
Nucleic Acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Monomers are the building blocks of the four basic macromolecules of life-monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates, amino acids are the monomers of proteins, glycerol/fatty acids are the monomers of lipids, and nucleotides are the monomers of DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -The building blocks of carbohydrates are monosaccharides. Monosaccharides tend to have a carbonyl group (C=O), and are surrounded by hydroxyl groups (-OH).

Detailed explanation-3: -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: -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: -Simple and complex carbohydrates-simple are sugars: mono-and disaccharides with glucose, fructose, and galactose as the monosaccharide building blocks.
