Types
Polysaccharides
More than 20 monosaccharides
Oligosaccharides
Less than 20 monosaccharides
Disaccharides
di- = “two” sacchar
Linking Monosaccharides Process: Condensation- H2O released Covalent bond known as a glycosidic linkage Reversing process: Hydrolysis-add water
Monosaccharides
mono- = “one”; sacchar- = “sugar”
