MONOSACCHARIDE
they are a simple 'unit' sugar.

DISACCHARIDES
They consist of molecules whose form is two monsaccharides joined together.

POLYSACCHARIDES
consists of molecules formed from many monosaccharides attached together in a long chain.

GLYCOSIDIC BOND
a glycosidic bond is a type of covalent bond that joins a carbohydrate (sugar) molecule to another group, which may or may not be another carbohydrate
