Question

Structure n properties of mono di and polysccharides

Answer 1

Monosaccharide is a simple sugar consist only of one unit. They serve as building blocks for more complex carbohydrate forms.

For example:

Glucose 
Fructose 
Galactose 
Ribose and Deoxyribose - RNA, DNA 
and so on...

Disaccharides are a group of sugars composed of two monosaccharide groups linked together.

For example:

Maltose = Glucose + Glucose 
Sucrose = Glucose + Fructose
Lactose = Glucose + Galactose

Polysaccharides are complex carbohydratescomposed of numerous monosaccharidescombined through the loss of water molecules.

For example:

Starch 
Amylopectin 
Glycogen
