A molecule made of two sugar monomers bonded together is called a disaccharide. Examples include sucrose (table sugar), lactose (found in milk), and maltose (found in malted beverages).
Monosaccharide: The simplest form of carbohydrate, consisting of a single sugar molecule like glucose or fructose. Disaccharide: Composed of two monosaccharide units linked together, for example, sucrose (glucose + fructose) or lactose (glucose + galactose). Polysaccharide: Long chains of monosaccharide units joined together, like starch, cellulose, and glycogen, serving as energy storage or structural components in living organisms.
An example of a monomer and polymer pair is ethylene (monomer) and polyethylene (polymer). Ethylene is a simple hydrocarbon molecule with a double bond that can undergo polymerization to form a long chain of repeating ethylene units, creating the polymer polyethylene.
The monomers for disaccharides are monosaccharides, which are simple sugars such as glucose, fructose, and galactose. When two monosaccharides bond together through a condensation reaction, they form a disaccharide.
Yes, a biomolecule that is composed of many monomers linked together is called a polymer. Polymers can be composed of various types of monomers, such as amino acids in proteins, nucleotides in nucleic acids, or sugars in carbohydrates. Examples of biomolecules that are polymers include proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and polysaccharides.
The monomers for carbohydrates are simple sugars called monosaccharides. Examples of monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Sugars that are monomers are called monosaccharides, which are singe (simple) sugars like glucose, fructose, and galactose. However, lactose is a disaccharide (double sugar) composed of galactose and glucose bonded together.

The monomers for large carbohydrates are simple sugars, also known as monosaccharides. Examples of monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose. Chains of these monosaccharides link together to form complex carbohydrates such as starch and cellulose.
No. Sugars are carbohydrates.
Phosphate groups join the deoxyribose sugars together in a chain to form the backbone of a DNA molecule.
Monosaccharides and DisaccharidesIn the category of nutrients, there are monomers and polymers. Monomers are the "building blocks" of large macromolecules, or any molecule chain created through condensation reactions. These are the polymers, three or more monomers bonded together. In the category of carbohydrates, there are monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosacchaides, and polysaccharides. Just from the prefixes, you can tell that the monosaccharides are monomers, the disaccharides are two bonded monomers (monosaccharides) and oligosacchaides and polysaccharides are made up of many monomers (monosaccharides).The monosaccharides are just a single carbon ring (in the natural aqueous environment of an organism). The monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose. The disaccharides are two carbon rings bonded together by a glycosidic linkage in a condensation (dehydration) reaction, which removes a molecule of water. Disaccharides include maltose (glucose + glucose), lactose (glucose + galactose), sucrose (glucose + fructose), and more.When we consume food, we are taking in the large polysacchaides such as starch and smaller molecules such as maltose. We take these long molecules and digest them - break up their glycosidic linkages until they are monosaccharides (monomers) that we can absorb throughout out alimentary canal (usually in small intestine).A monosaccharide is one saccharide (or sugar) molecule. An example of a monosaccharide is glucose.A disaccharide is two saccharides (sugars) bonded together through a dehydration reaction. An example of a disaccharide is maltose which is two glucose linked together.A polysaccharide is typically ten or more saccharides bonded together. Cellulose is an example of a polysaccharide, which is ten or more glucose linked together.
Monomers are single units while polymers are monomers linked together. So with polysaccharides being polymers or monomers linked together, then think of a single monomer of sugar such as maltose. When you link a bunch of maltose together then they form a polysaccharide polymer of sugars. Glycogen is an example of a polymer of sugars. Glycogen is the body method of sugar storage in your liver and muscle tissue....
No, simple sugars are the monomers of polysaccharides, which includes complex sugars, starches, celluloses, lignins, etc.
polysaccharide
Simple sugars like glucose, fructose, and galactose are carbohydrates that are monomers. They are also structural isomers. All three have the chemical formula C6H12O6, but differ in the way that the atoms are bonded together.

Aside from O2 we need -CH2- monomers; these are sourced from each of proteins, lipids, and sugars.
