Question

Carbohydrates are made of which monomers

Answer 1

Answer: Describe the monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates and are often referred to as “the simple sugars”.

Explanation: You can often recognize a carbohydrate by its suffix – ose (e.g. glucose, sucrose, cellulose, etc.)

Answer 2

Carbohydrates are made of elements Carbon , hydrogen and oxygen! Carbohydrates occur as sugars and polymers. The simplest form which is monosaccharides and disaccharides are sugars and polysaccharides are polymers ! Disaccharides are made of two monosaccharides formed my a glycocidic bond ! For example maltose is made of 2 glucose molecules and sucrose is made of glucose and fructose and lactose is made of glucose and galactose! Monosaccharides bind as a long chain structures or branches and forms a polysaccharide! Usually 100 to 1000 monosaccharides are included ! For example cellulose is made of glucose as it’s monomer and inulin which is present in dalia tubers are made of fructose ! We can obtain monosaccharides by hydrolysis of disaccharides and polysaccharides
