No simple sugar is a monosaccharide And a polysaccharide is made up of many monosaccharides the opposite .Remember this (C.H2.O)n where is n is at least 3 or greater.There is three carbon sugar(triose),four carbon sugar(tetrose),five carbon sugar (pentose), and there is six carbon sugar(Hexose).......and so on.....
But there is only one exception Diose(two carbon sugar) called Glycolaldehyde and it doesn't have ketone because it has only two carbon.There is no one carbon and two carbon sugar except the exception Glycolaldehyde.
I hope I didn't answer it in a complicated way.

What are structural differences between monosaccharides disaccharides and polysaccharides?
they are related to each other because they are all made of glucose molecules.
The subunits that make up polysaccharides are?
The subunits that make up polysaccharides are sugars, or monosaccharides. An example of a monosaccharide is glucose, which we need for energy.
How are plastics similar to polysaccharides?
As you stated, plastics are polymers, meaning they are made up of several smaller units called monomers. An example of this is a common material known as PVC. This stands for polyvinyl chloride, which is a polymer of vinyl chloride. Likewise, polysaccharides are also polymers, made up of smaller units, again called monomers. An example of this is a carbohydrate, which is made up of smaller sugars, such as glucose. So the difference between plastics and polysaccharides is that they are made up of different monomers. For plastics the monomer is an organic molecule, and for polysaccharides the monomer is a single saccharide, also known as a simple sugar.
Why can more complex sugars polysaccharides store more energy than a monosachride?
There are more bonds in disaccharides. They are made up of two monosaccharides
Which category of organic chemical is made up of monosaccharides?
Simple sugars.
Are ploysaccharides carbhydrates?
Yes, polysaccharides are carbohydrates that are made up of many simple-sugars.
What elements do polysaccharides consist of?
Polysaccharides are composed in nutrition but the mayger one is food sciece because food is full of polysaccharides.
What organic compound is made up of sugars or starches?
Starches and sugars are organized as Polysaccharides.
Are simple sugars made of polysaccharides?
Monosaccharidesand Disaccharides are the simplest form of sugars. An example of aMonosaccharide is Glucose, and an example of a Disaccharide is Lactose. The most common source of these sugars is Fruit.
What are complex sugars or starches called?
Complex sugars are compounds made up of 3 or more simple sugars. For example, glucose is a monosaccharide (1 sugar) Lactose is a disaccharide (made up of 2 sugars) Amylose is a polysaccharide (thousands of sugars in the chain) so it is considered a "complex" sugar. Glucose is one of the sugars that usually makes up a "complex" sugar.
What are the 3 types of sugar that make carbohydrates?
The three monosaccharides (simple sugars) that make up carbohydrate polysaccharides are fructose, glucose and galactose.
What are structural differences between monosaccharides disaccharides and polysaccharides?
they are related to each other because they are all made of glucose molecules.
A polysaccharide is a polymer made up of what kind of monomers?
Polysaccharides are a chains of carbohydrates (monosaccharides) linked together that are longer than 10 to 20 units. Starch, glycogen, and cellulose are made from glucose. Other polysaccharides are made from a variety of different monosaccharides. Hemicelulose is made from glucose, xylose, mannose, galactose, rhamnose, and arabinose. Pectin is made from galacturonic acid and galacturonoglycan. Food gums can be made from rhamnose, arabinose, glucose, xylose, and galactose.

Is a carbohydrate a micronutrient?
Yes, a carbohydrate is a molecule made up of sugar molecules bonded together.There are monosaccharides, the simplest carbohydrates which are sugar molecules--fructose, glucose are part of this group. They are also called "simple sugars"There are disaccharides, sugars made up of two linked monosaccharides. Lactose, maltose and sucrose are part of this group.There are polysaccharides and oligosaccharides, longer "chains" and "branches" made up of several monosaccharides. Oligosaccharides are carbohydrates with between two and nine "simple sugar" molecules attached together.Starch and glycogen are polysaccharides.Cellulose and chitin are also polysaccharides, although technically not nutrients as the body does not digest them.
What are monomer that makes up carboyhrydates?
Carbohydrates are made up of simple sugars.
