Answer: monomers

Step-by-step explanation:

Monosaccharides are defined as the simplest form of carbohydrates. It consists of carbon atom, hydrogen atom and oxygen atom.Basic formula of a monosaccharide is
(CH_(2)O)_(n), where n can be equal to or greater than 3.

Combination of more than two units of a monosaccharide will lead to the formation of a polysaccharide or complex carbohydrates.

Monomers are the the small units which combine together either as such or with removal of small molecules to form bigger molecules called as polymers.

Combination of monomers lead to the formation of a polymer.
