Detailed explanation-1: -The monomers of carbohydrates are the monosaccharide units that are the basic building blocks of all sugars and starches. The polymers of carbohydrates are disaccharides and polysaccharides that consist of two or more monomers respectively. Examples of monosaccharide are: glucose, fructose and galactose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monosaccharides are forms of monomers, molecules capable of combining with other similar molecules to create more complex polymers. The typical chemical formula of a monosaccharide is CnH2nOn. In other words, they are created out of one hydroxyl group (OH) as well as a carbonyl group (C=O).

Detailed explanation-3: -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: -A monosaccharide is the monomer that makes up a polysaccharide. 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.
