I am taking bio101 and have a question about monosaccharide, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Let me try and explain and let me know if I'm right.
monosaccharide are just one molecule of a simple suger ie, glucose, fructose.
disaccarides have just one molecule of 2 simple sugars ie they aren't multiple glucose molecules only 1 plus 1 other simple sugar molecule.
polysaccarides are a chain of 1 type of simple molecule, ie there could be 10,000 glucose molecules combined.
