GOB Chemistry
Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates and can be hydrolyzed into simpler sugars.
Disaccharides are carbohydrates composed of two monosaccharide molecules linked together by a glycosidic bond.
Monosaccharides have general formula of (CH2O)n, where n is typically 3–7.
Polysaccharides can be linear or branched and contain hundreds to thousands of monosaccharides.
