What small organic molecules form carbohydrate chains?

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.


Which organic molecules are composed of monosaccharide monomers?

Carbohydrates are the organic molecules composed of monosaccharide monomers. Monosaccharides are single sugar units that can be linked together to form larger carbohydrate molecules such as disaccharides (two monosaccharides linked together) and polysaccharides (long chains of monosaccharides).
