Answer;

-Carbohydrates

Step-by-step explanation;

-Carbohydrates are one of the four basic macromolecules of life. They are a polymer made up of monomers called monosaccharides. These building blocks are simple sugars, e.g., glucose and fructose. Two monosaccharides connected together makes a disaccharide.

-Certain carbohydrates called polysaccharides are made up of monomers called Monosaccharides. Monosaccharides cannot be hydrolyzed further to yield simpler sugars. An example of a monosaccharide would be glucose, which can polymerize into Amylose which is one of the two components of starch.
