A sugar monomer such as Glucose.
what is one word that means carbohydrate monomer
A monomer is not a sugar, the meaning is other.But glucose is monomer for polysaccharides.
monomer (monosaccharide)
the monomer is the base of the carbohydrate
Monomers are similar identical units covalently bonded to each other to from polymers. The monomer of carbohydrates are monosaccharides. Carbohydrates are polymers so its monomer is a simple sugar called monosaccharide.
Simple Sugars
Yes, it is a simple sugar monomer.
The monomer of a carbohydrate is called a monosaccharide, eg. glucose in starch and cellulose, fructose in fructosan or inuline.
Fructose is a monosaccharide. You can also call it a "simple sugar", but generally the name for it is monosaccharide in the Biological world. The only disaccharide that involves the monomer fructose is sucrose, which is a fructose and a glucose bonded by a glycosidic linkage.
