Disaccharides units
Glucose (glucose + glucose), sucrose (glucose + fructose) and lactose (glucose + galactose)
Polysaccharides
1) Consists of hundreds of monosaccharides that form a long chain of molecules 2) Insoluble in water due to large molecular size 3) Not sweet and crystalline
Examples of polysaccharides
Cellulose, starch, and glycogen
