Answered by admin @


All carbohydrates are made up of monosaccharides.

Explanation:

The carbohydrates are one of the crucial naturally occurring chemicals when it comes to the survival and prosperity of the living organisms. They serve lot of different roles, from providing energy, storing energy, fertilization, make up the RNA, strengthening the immune system etc.

The carbohydrates though are not all the same, and they can actually be divided into four different groups:

  • monosaccharides
  • disaccharides
  • oligosaccharides
  • polysaccharides

Each of them has different chemical composition, thus having different properties. Those different properties in turn result in different types of usages for each of them among the living organisms. The smallest units, the monosaccharides and disaccharides are actually the ones that are referred to as sugars, something that we all know very well and use it on daily basis.
