It has only one. We refer to subunits when we talk about polymers, which long molecules made up of joined monomers, rather like a necklace made of many beads. The beads are the subunits. Glucose is not a polymer, it is a monomer. Amylose, one of the constituents of starch,is made of at least a thousand glucose subunits.
Glucose.
Molecules that are synthesised from multiple subunits are known as polymers. The subunits are known as monomers. An example of a polymer is a protein, which is made up of amino acid subunits (monomers). A large organic molecule, usually created by polymerisation of monomers is known as a macromolecule. This includes nucleic acids, proteins and carbohydrates.
Some carbohydrates are polymers. Some aren't. Glucose is a carbohydrate, but it's not made of simpler identical subunits; it is itself the monomer of complex carbohydrates like cellulose and starch.
A polymer composed of beta-glucose monomers is cellulose.

The subunits (or monomers) of carbohydrates are monosaccharides and disaccharides. The polymers (the products of these linked subunits) are starches and polysaccharides.
Glucose.
Glucose monomers make up the polysaccharide starch.

carbohydrates dna subunits are nucleic acids. Nucleic acid subunits are nucleotides.
The subunit of starch is simple carbohydrate
polysaccharide
Glucose. Starch is a polymer made of glucose monomers.
Starch is a polymer formed from glucose monomers.
A single starch molecule contents few thousands glucose monomers in single molecule.
Starch is not a gas, it is a carbohydrate composed of glucose monomers. It is a solid.
