Monosaccharides are simple sugars which are made of a single sugar molecule eg glucose, lactose, fructose.
Disaccharides are double sugars, formed from two monosaccharides linked together by a chemical bond (a glycosidic bond) eg lactose (milk sugar) consists of glucose and galactose combined together.
Polysaccharides ("many" sugars) are made of many (eg hundreds) monosaccharides linked together by glycosidic bonds eg starch and cellulose are made from glucose molecules linked to form long chains.

What does starch end up as?
Starch is a polysaccharide ie. a very complex carbohydrate. Enzymes break it down into a di-saccharide - maltose. Another enzymes then converts this into the monosaccharide (simple sugar), glucose.
Is polysaccharide a monomer or a polymer?
As the prefix poly- might indicate a polysaccharide is a polymer.
