Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the building blocks of carbohydrates/starches?
A
Amino acids
B
monosaccharides
C
glycerol and fatty acids
D
nucleotides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose: Monosaccharide also known as blood sugar. Glucose is the building block for starch (amylose and amylopectin ).

Detailed explanation-2: -The simplest, most basic units of carbohydrates are monosaccharides or single sugars (e.g., glucose and fructose). Monosaccharides are the building blocks used to make increasingly more complex carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monosaccharides. Monosaccharides include glucose, galactose and fructose-all commonly found in food. Monosaccharides are single sugar molecules that are the building blocks for all other sugars and carbohydrates. Glucose, fructose and galactose are examples of these.

Detailed explanation-4: -These simple sugar units (monosaccharides) form the monomeric units that link together to form long and complex polysaccharides. An example of a monosaccharide is a “glucose” molecule. These glucose units (monomers) link to form or build a cellulose polysaccharide.

Detailed explanation-5: -The basic building block of carbohydrates is the monosaccharide, which consists of six carbon atoms. Sugars are sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates that are found in many foods and supply us with energy. Simple sugars, such as glucose, consist of just one monosaccharide.
