CARBOHYDRATESCARBOHYDRATES

Monomer= monosaccharide (simple sugar)

Made of C, H, and O and easily recognized by ring structure but no N like in DNA!!

CARBOHYDRATESCARBOHYDRATES MACROMOLECULESMACROMOLECULES

2 monosaccharides = disaccharide

3 or more monosaccharides = polysaccharide such as starch or cellulose

Disaccharide
