Introduction: A monosaccharide is a simple sugar and forms a disaccharide (a double sugar) when condensation occurs. Hydrolysis breaks a disaccharide apart to form two monosaccharides by splitting water molecules. Many monosaccharides can combine to form a polysaccharide, an example being starch. Carbohydrates (sugars) are stored temporarily as glucose and for longer periods as starch.
