Mono = one Di = two That simple.
Both can be hydrolized further.Polysaccharide are not sweet,cannot be chrystalized,not soluble in water,not reducing agents,are polymers Disaccharides are sweet,can be chrystalized,soluble in water,some are reducing and some are oxidizing agents

Pure, dry fructose is a very sweet, white, odorless, crystalline solid that is the most water-soluble of all the sugars. This fruit sugar, is a simple ketonic monosaccharide that is found in many plants, where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose.
Sucrose. Sucrose is a disaccharide therefore does not have free electrons in the sugar to react with the Benedict reagent. Glucose has free electrons therefore shows positive with the Benedict reagent.

It can be. Glucose is a monosaccharide so is composed of one unit. There are disaccharides and polysaccharides too, which are made up of 2 or more units. (There is also a group called oligsaccharides.) Fructose is a monosaccharide. Glucose + fructose = sucrose (a disaccharide). Try typing in monosaccharide, disaccharide, oligosaccharide and polysaccharide into Wikipedia.
Saccharides are sugars * A monosaccharide (e.g. glucose, fructose) is the smallest possible sugar unit * A disaccharide is two monosaccharide molecules bonded together e.g. sucrose consists of one molecule of glucose and one of fructose * A polysaccharide is a chain of monosaccharides; the chain may be branched (e.g. glycogen) or unbranched (e.g. cellulose)

fructoseThe monosaccharide responsible for sweet taste in fruit is fructose also known as levulose or fruit sugar.
That's because the lactose is broken down into two other easily digested sugars which are sweeter: breaks into galactose and glucose... this occurs through hydrolysis in the milk prior to drinking it ( because lactase is found in the milk, which contains lactose), thus creating a sweeter milk).
Lactose, which is a disaccharide (sugar) makes up between 2% and 8% of milk by weight. In digestion, it is broken down into glucose and galactose (monosaccharides). But lactose does not have the sweet taste associated with most sugars.

Well, basically carbohydrates are the compounds of carbon,hydrogen,oxygen. They are polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones. monisaccharide is a carbohydrate. monosaccahrides are sweet and water soluble . monosaccharides include glucose(dextrose), fructose(levulose), galactose,xylose,ribose.
Glycine and glucose are both absorbed in the intestine through the intestinal walls. Glycine is a type of organic compound which has no color and is sweet in flavor. Glucose is a monosaccharide is is sweet. Both glucose and glycine are absorbed during the process of digestion.
