Answer
Carbohydrates are divided into four main types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.
Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates and consist of a single sugar molecule. Examples include glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharides joined together. Examples include sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
Oligosaccharides are composed of three to ten monosaccharides joined together. Examples include raffinose and stachyose.
Polysaccharides are composed of many monosaccharides joined together. Examples include starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
