The first class of biomolecules we will discuss are the carbohydrates. These molecules are comprised of the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). Commonly, these molecules are known as sugars. Carbohydrates can range in size from very small to very large. Like all the other biomolecules, carbohydrates are often built into long chains by stringing together smaller units. This works like adding beads to a bracelet to make it longer. The general term for a single unit or bead is a monomer. The term for a long string of monomers is a polymer.
Examples of carbohydrates include the sugars found in milk (lactose) and table sugar (sucrose). Depicted below is the structure of the monomer sugar glucose, a major source of energy for our body.
Building blocks are simple sugars, or monosaccharides. i thought carbon ,hydrogen and oxygen were the atoms involved, not the building blocks.
Used as building blocks for protein
It means carbohydrates are primarily made up of glucose molecules.
Starch is a polysaccharid of carbohydrates made up of monocharrides .
Yes. Carbohydrates and Proteins are build upi from their basic building blocks. In case of carbohydrates, the building blocks are sugar units and proteins are made up of amino acids.
The building block of a carbohydrate is mono saccharides.
Monosaccharides .
Carbohydrates
Simple sugars are themselves building blocks of either complex sugars or carbohydrates. Glycol aldehyde is an example of a pre biotic simple sugar.

No carbohydrates are a basic class of molecules. Living organisms are made of carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids, and nucleic acids. Carbs are sugars like glucose. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein.
No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Carbohydrates contain simple sugars (monosaccharides) and polymers of sugars (disaccharides and polysaccharides).
It means carbohydrates are primarily made up of glucose molecules.
