How is carbon used in the process of photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide is converted to sugar using ATP and NADPH. This process is known as carbon fixation or the Calvin cycle. Carbon dioxide is combined with a 5-carbon sugar creating a 6-carbon sugar. The 6-carbon sugar is eventually broken-down into two molecules, glucose and fructose. These two molecules make sucrose or sugar.

Are polysaccharides made up of simple sugars?

No simple sugar is a monosaccharide And a polysaccharide is made up of many monosaccharides the opposite .Remember this (C.H2.O)n where is n is at least 3 or greater.There is three carbon sugar(triose),four carbon sugar(tetrose),five carbon sugar (pentose), and there is six carbon sugar(Hexose).......and so on..... But there is only one exception Diose(two carbon sugar) called Glycolaldehyde and it doesn't have ketone because it has only two carbon.There is no one carbon and two carbon sugar except the exception Glycolaldehyde.
