Monosaccharide's consist of only one sugar molecule. (Its the basic molecular unit of all Carbohydrates). Most of them have a carbon backbone that ranges between three to seven carbon atoms. Those carbon atoms also have a hydrogen and a hydroxyl group linked to them.

What is the structure of a disaccharide?

A disaccharide is composed of two monosaccharide units linked together by a glycosidic bond. This bond forms between the anomeric carbon of one monosaccharide and a hydroxyl group of another monosaccharide, resulting in the formation of a larger carbohydrate molecule. Common examples of disaccharides include sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
