The correct representation of the carbohydrates as per its size from smallest to largest is, “monosaccharide, disaccharide, polysaccharide.”
Here, mono stands for a single, di stands for double whereas poly is used for the multi.
The monosaccharide is the most basic unit of carbohydrates, disaccharides are the next level that is known as building blocks such as lactose.
Then, the polysaccharides mean more addition such as starch.
