monomer \t one ring \t glucose \t contain sugar rings
consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen \t carbohydrate \t polymer
many rings \t starch \t two rings

Explanation:

• monosaccharide: These are the simplest single-unit sugars, with a single ring structure, glucose is an example, and they are the monomers that build larger carbs.
• both mono- and polysaccharides: All carbohydrates, regardless of size, are made of C, H, O and contain sugar ring structures, and they fall under the broader carbohydrate category.
• polysaccharide: These are large polymer carbs made of many linked sugar units, forming many rings, with starch being a common example.

monosaccharide

• monomer
• one ring

both mono- and polysaccharides

• consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
