Monosaccharides are single sugar molecules. Disaccharides are two sugar molecules joined together. Polysaccharides are saccharide polymers (chains of monosaccharides).
Polysaccharides are made up of carbohydrate molecules, monosaccharides, and glycosidic linkages. Examples of polysaccharides are starch and glycogen.
Monosaccharides,Disaccharides these are the type of carbohydrate exist in human body.
Polysaccharides
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.
Polysaccharides
The "hundreds of molecules" would be called hundreds of monomers. Collectively, many linked monomers makes up a polymer. So what you're asking is for the name of the polymer of a carbohydrate - polysaccharide.
Sugar is a biomolecule called a carbohydrate. There are different classes of sugars, such as monosaccharaides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. An example of a monosaccharide is fructose.
disaccharides and polysaccharides
Polysaccharides are composed of several sugar molecules that are chemically bonded together. They are considered as carbohydrates. Examples of polysaccharides are starch, cellulose and glycogen.
Polysaccharides are much larger molecules.
they are related to each other because they are all made of glucose molecules.
