Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The unit molecules (monomers) of carbohydrates are
A
monosaccharides
B
amino acids.
C
nucleic acids.
D
fatty acids.
Explanation: 

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: -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. Monosaccharides are classified based on the number of carbons in the molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -Like most organic compounds, carbohydrates are built of small, repeating units that form bonds with each other to make a larger molecule. In the case of carbohydrates, the small repeating units are calle d monosaccharides.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monosaccharides represent the simplest structural form of carbohydrates, as they consist of a single saccharide unit and are not able to be further hydrolyzed into smaller units of carbohydrates.
