Question

according to the text, what are the monomers of carbohydrates? a. monosaccharide b. disaccharide c. saccharide d. polysaccharide

Explanation:

Monomers are the basic building blocks of polymers. Carbohydrates are polymers (like polysaccharides) made by joining monomer units. Monosaccharides (e.g., glucose) are the simplest sugar units and act as the monomers for carbohydrates. Disaccharides are two monosaccharides linked, polysaccharides are many monosaccharides linked, and "saccharide" is a general term. So the monomers of carbohydrates are monosaccharides.

Answer:

A. Monosaccharide
