What is monomer of carbohydrates

Answer 1

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).
