Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the single sugars that are the building blocks of carbohydrates?
A
monosaccharides
B
disaccharides
C
polysaccharides
D
amino acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, monosaccharides are the building blocks of carbohydrates. Note: Glucose, fructose and galactose are examples of monosaccharides.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Simple sugars are called monosaccharides; these are made up of single sugar molecules. The three main monosaccharides that we consume are fructose, galactose and glucose.

Detailed explanation-5: -The basic building blocks of carbohydrates are monosaccharides. The monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates and cannot be hydrolyzed into smaller units. Monosaccharides are the monomeric units that link together by glycosidic linkages to form complex carbohydrates such as oligosaccharides and polysaccharides.
