Best Answer

Carbohydrates are a class of nutrients. All nutrients have monomers which are the organic building blocks of polymers. Under carbohydrates, there are the polymers, polysaccarides, and the monomers, monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are linked together through condensation (dehydration) reactions to form chains of disaccharides and polysaccarides.

Giant organic molecule made of small molecules linked together?

No, it is one molecule.However some large organic molecules (i.e. polymers) are formed from small organic molecules (i.e. monomers) that bond together into long chains, forming one new large molecule. The small molecules no longer exist as individual molecules after bonding into the large molecule.

Is carbon black organic or inorganic?

No. the word organic means "to contain carbon" but carbon, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide were discovered and understood well before the concept of "organic" came about. So we historically did not label them as organic and still do not. Also, that which we use the word "organic" for is usually long chains of organic molecules and CO2 and CO are small molecules. So they dont direclty apply.
