Brief Explanations
- Analyze each option:
- Nucleic acids (like DNA/RNA) are made of nucleotides, not glucose. Eliminate "a nucleic acid".
- Fats are lipids (triglycerides, etc.), glucose is a carbohydrate. Eliminate "fat".
- Disaccharides (e.g., sucrose) are two - sugar units; glucose is a single sugar. Eliminate "a disaccharide".
- Monosaccharides are single - unit sugars, and glucose is a classic monosaccharide (simple sugar).
