Question

what is the general term for any carbohydrate monomer?
glucose
polysaccharide
monosaccharide
fructose

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are biological macromolecules. A monomer is the basic building block. Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates and cannot be further hydrolyzed into simpler carbohydrates. Glucose and fructose are specific monosaccharides (not the general term). Polysaccharides are polymers (made of many monosaccharide units). So, the general term for a carbohydrate monomer is monosaccharide.

Answer:

C. monosaccharide
