Yes it is true. They build up the carbohydrates
A subunit of a carbohydrate is a monosaccharide, which is a simple sugar molecule such as glucose or fructose. Monosaccharides are the building blocks of more complex carbohydrates like disaccharides and polysaccharides.
Glucose
The basic subunit for carbohydrates is a monosaccharide, which is a single sugar molecule. Examples of monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose. These monosaccharides can combine to form larger carbohydrates such as disaccharides (two sugar molecules) and polysaccharides (multiple sugar molecules).
Very simple: a monosaccharide.

Yes it is, but the proper spelling is monosaccharide. It is the basic form of carbohydrates.
The monomer or subunit of carbohydrate structure is a monosaccharide, which is a simple sugar molecule such as glucose, fructose, or galactose. These monosaccharides can combine to form larger carbohydrates like disaccharides (e.g., sucrose) and polysaccharides (e.g., starch).
