Monomer: A monomer is a molecule that can react together with other monomer molecules to form a larger polyme
Polymer: substance or material consisting of very large molecules, or macromolecules, composed of many repeating subunits
Because sugars contain many hydroxyl groups, glycosidic bonds can join one
Disaccharides which can be regarded as formed by reaction of the two glycosidic (anomeric) hydroxy groups with one another are named, systematically, as glycosyl glycosides.

-
Oligosaccharides contains multiple hydroxyl groups, along with amino and carboxyl groups.
-
Monosacchride Contains one carbonyl (C=O) functional group, and one hydroxyl (OH) group on each of the remaining carbon atoms.
Disaccharide contains multiple hydroxyl groups and a functional group that could be an aldehyde or a ketone.
-
Monosaccharides properties: Monosaccharides are crystalline solids at room temperature and quite soluble in water.
Polysaccharides properties: Polysaccharides are not sweet in taste, many of which are insoluble in water, do not form crystals when desiccated compact and not osmotically active inside the cells.
Oligosaccharides properties: Oligosaccharides are soluble in water, and many oligosaccharides have a sweet taste and can be oxidized by Fehling solution.
Disaccharides Function: disaccharide function is to provide your body with a quick source of energy.
-
Polysaccharides function: polysaccharides are energy storage or structural support. Starch and glycogen are highly compact polymers that are used for energy storage and cellulose used for structural support in plants and animals
