Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which substance makes up the macromolecule carbohydrate?
A
amino acid
B
nucleic acids
C
vitamins
D
glucose/sugar
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is composed of thousands of covalently bonded atoms. Many macromolecules are polymers of smaller molecules called monomers. The most common macromolecules in biochemistry are biopolymers (nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates) and large non-polymeric molecules such as lipids, nanogels and macrocycles.

Detailed explanation-3: -A large molecule made of repeating subunits (monomers). For example, a carbohydrate is a polymer that is made of repeating monosaccharides.

Detailed explanation-4: -11.1 Introduction: The Four Major Macromolecules These are the carbohydrates, lipids (or fats), proteins, and nucleic acids. All of the major macromolecule classes are similar, in that, they are large polymers that are assembled from small repeating monomer subunits.
