Sugars that are monomers are called monosaccharides, which are singe (simple) sugars like glucose, fructose, and galactose. However, lactose is a disaccharide (double sugar) composed of galactose and glucose bonded together.

What is the monomer for carbohydrate?

The monomer for carbohydrates is a simple sugar called monosaccharide. glucose, fructose, and galactose are common monosaccharides that can serve as monomers to form more complex carbohydrates.


Is sugar a fat?

Sugar is actually a crystalline carbohydrate. There are multiple types of sugars, the most common being sucrose, lactose and fructose. So, to answer your question, sugar is a carbohydrate, not a fat.


What makes up a dissaccharide?

A disaccharide is a molecule composed of two monosaccharide units joined together by a glycosidic bond. The most common disaccharides include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).


What two molecules make up disaccharide?

Disaccharides are composed of two carbohydrate molecules, specifically sugars. A very common disaccharide is sucrose, (table sugar) which is composed of a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule.


What are the three common simple sugars in your diet?

The three most common monosaccharides in one's diet are most likely glucose (both the alpha and beta isomers), galactose, and fructose. These sugars make up three common diasaccharides: Maltose, Lactose and Sucrose Maltose (malt sugar) is made from 2 alpha glucoses (linked via an alpha glycosidic bond) Lactose (milk sugar) is made from galactose and beta glucose (linked via a beta glycosidic bond) Sucrose (table sugar) is made from alpha glucose and fructose (linked via an alpha glycosidic bond.)
