the fact that it’s only a singular sugar unit that isn’t bonded to other sugar units.

3rd

Implying that each classification of carbohydrates are made out of monosaccharide, a singular

1st- 2nd sentence

- Basically for a disaccharide to form, two monosaccharides must form a covalent bond which
loses water in the process. This is also called as a dehydration reaction
- Sucrose is also made up of glucose and fructose

OLIGOSACCHARIDES
- The chemical formula changes depending on the amount of monosaccharides joined together,
notice that the number on the right side increases as the number of monosaccharides also
increases.

POLYSACCHARIDES
- Basically all complex carbohydrates are bounded through a covalent bond, also called as

- In other words, a polysaccharide can be considered as a homopolysaccharide if it only has 10 or
