Are carbohydrates polysaccharides?

Some are, some are not.There are four kinds of carbohydrates, or sugars:Monosaccharides consist of one molecule (examples include glucose, fructose, galactose, xylose, ribose, etc.)Disaccharides consist of two molecules (examples include sucrose, lactose, maltose, etc.)Oligosaccharides consist of a few molecules (examples include fructo-oligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides, mannan oligosaccharides, etc.)Polysaccharides consist of many molecules (examples include starch, glycogen, cellulose, pectins, etc.)
