Monosaccharide
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.
The basic subunit for carbohydrates is a monosaccharide, which is a single sugar molecule. Examples of monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose. These monosaccharides can combine to form larger carbohydrates such as disaccharides (two sugar molecules) and polysaccharides (multiple sugar molecules).

The basic unit of starch is a glucose molecule, which is linked together in long chains to form complex carbohydrates. Multiple glucose molecules combine to form amylose and amylopectin, the two main components of starch.
