Here's a breakdown:
* Monosaccharides: These are simple sugars, like glucose and fructose.
* Disaccharides: These are formed when two monosaccharides bond together, like sucrose (glucose + fructose).
* Polysaccharides: These are complex carbohydrates formed by the bonding of many monosaccharides.
Examples of polysaccharides include:
* Starch: A storage polysaccharide in plants, made of many glucose molecules.
* Glycogen: A storage polysaccharide in animals, also made of many glucose molecules.
* Cellulose: A structural polysaccharide in plants, also made of many glucose molecules, but arranged differently than starch or glycogen.
