Yes they can be found. They are very common
mono
Give two characteristics of each mono saccharides and polysaccharides.
Glucose is another name for monosaccharide sugar.Monosaccharide sugar is found in honey and the juices of many fruits.
Polysaccharide oil is an oil made out of Polysaccharides."Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrate structures, formed of repeating units (either mono- or di-saccharides) joined together by glycosidic bonds."Polysaccharides can be divided into Storing, Structural, Acidic and Bacterial forms.Starch (found in plants) and Glycogen (found in animals) are two forms of Storing Polysaccharides.Source: Wikipedia.com

The building block of a carbohydrate is mono saccharides.
Function and structure
disaccharide
Mono(single)-saccharides are single sugar units. with glucose and fructose being two examples of mono-saccharides. All carbohydrates are made up of linked mono-saccharides. and it is the type quantity and the way that they are linked which defines the type of carbohydrate and how your body reacts to it.
They are different by the way they are made up. They are each composed of different isomers. Cellulose is exclusively a plant product. Glycogen is nicknamed "animal starch" and is found in the liver and in muscle tissue. Plants produce starch from mono saccharides as a result of photosynthesis.
A condensation reaction (aka dehydration synthesis).
