Answer:
Monosaccharide cannot be hydrolyzed to simpler compounds as it is itself the simplest unit. Disaccharides, polysaccharides and oligosaccharides can be hydrolyzed to monosaccharides.
A disaccharide (also called a double sugar ) is the sugar formed when two monosaccharides (simple sugars) are joined by glycosidic linkage.
Oligosaccharides are carbohydrates that contain two or more than two monosaccharides (2-10 units of monosaccharides). Oligosaccharides may contain any sugar monomer, but fructooligosaccharides (e.g., oligofructose) and galactooligosaccharides are mostly researched.
Polysaccharides are major classes of biomolecules. They are long chains of carbohydrate molecules, composed of several smaller monosaccharides. These complex bio-macromolecules functions as an important source of energy in animal cell and form a structural component of a plant cell.
