∙ 14y ago
A monosaccharide is just one carbon ring and is very soluble , example : glucose. A disaccharide consists of 2 carbon rings and is partially soluble , example : lactose ( galactose + glucose = lactose)

∙ 11y agoMonosaccharides (one sugar) are made of one sugar.
Disaccharides (two sugars) are two monosaccharides joined together by glycosidic linkage.
Polysaccharides (many sugars) are polymers of monosaccharides, with each monosaccharide joined to other monosaccharides in a glycosidic linkage.

Is a potato a monosaccharide disaccharide or polysaccharide?
um.....a potato isn't any of those. A saccharide is a sugar, and a monosaccharide is one sugar that is not bonded, such as galactose, glucose, or fructose (which are the three main monosaccharides, and are isomeric). A disaccharide is two monosaccharides bonded together, usually using dehydration synthesis. An example would be maltose, which is C12H24O12, or two glucose molecules. A polysaccaride is a lot of monosaccharides bonded together such as starch. So a potato is none of those.
