which sentence is true?
a. the monosaccharides are macromolecules, and the large carbohydrate is a monomer.
b. the monosaccharides are monomers, and the large carbohydrate is an atom.
c. the monosaccharides are monomers, and the large carbohydrate is a macromolecule.
d. the monosaccharides are atoms, and the large carbohydrate is a monomer.

Explanation:

Monomers are small units that combine to form polymers. Monosaccharides are monomers of carbohydrates. Macromolecules are large - sized molecules formed by the combination of many monomers. A large carbohydrate is a macromolecule made up of many monosaccharide monomers.
