GPT-4o mini
The monomers of carbohydrates are simple sugars known as monosaccharides. Common examples of monosaccharides include:
1. **Glucose** - a primary energy source for cells.
2. **Fructose** - found in many fruits and is sweeter than glucose.
3. **Galactose** - part of lactose, the sugar found in milk.
These monosaccharides can combine in various ways to form disaccharides (like sucrose and lactose) and polysaccharides (like starch and cellulose).
