If you mean sugar for coffee (like cane sugar), it's a disaccharide called sucrose, and it's made of glucose and fructose : β-D-fructofuranosyl-(2↔1)-α-D-glucopyranoside.
If you mean "sugars" more globally, the basic unit is any molecule of the form Cn(H2O)n (hence the name "carbohydrates"). They are more precisely of the form HCO-(HCOH)n-CH2OH (aldoses, like the glucose or the ribose, which is found in the DNA) or CH2OH-CO-(HCOH)n-CH2OH (ketoses, like the fructose). Now most of encountered sugars in nature are of the form C5(H2O)5 (like the ribose), or C6(H2O)6 (like the glucose and the fructose).

The basic unit of a sugar molecule is a monosaccharide. Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates and serve as the building blocks for more complex sugars. Examples of monosaccharides include glucose and fructose.

No, amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, while sugars are composed of monosaccharide units. Proteins and sugars are two distinct types of molecules with different structures and functions in biological systems.
