Question

q. what is a monomer of a carbohydrate called? chemical structure diagram disaccharide polysaccharide monosaccharide microsaccharide

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Carbohydrates are categorized by their subunit structure: disaccharides are two linked monomers, polysaccharides are long chains of monomers, and "microsaccharide" is not a valid biological term. The monomer (single subunit) of carbohydrates is a monosaccharide, which matches the single 6-carbon sugar structure shown.

Answer:

monosaccharide
