What is larger a monosaccharde a disaccharide or a polysaccharide?

1-3 largest to smallestPolysaccharde (It's a long chain of monosaccharides)Disaccharide ("Di" is Greek for 2. It's made of 2 monosaccharides)Monosaccharide (simple sugar like glucose, galactose, or fructose)

Monosaccharides, or more commonly glucose, galactose and fructose.


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


What is the difference between monosaccharide and polysaccharide?

A monosaccharide is made of a single carbohydrate molecule i.e. simple aldehyde or ketone molecules. Monosaccharides are called so because these simple sugars can't be further hydrolyzed but a polysaccharide is composed of many monosaccharides i.e. polysaccharide is polymer of 2 or more monosaccharide and are broken down into these simpler components through hydrolysis. Monosaccharides are sweet in taste but polysaccharides are tasteless. Monosaccharides have general formula Cn(H2O)n while polysaccharides have (C6H10O5)n.
