Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These carbohydrates are called polysaccharides ("many saccharides"). Polysaccharides are also referred to as complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates that are found in living things include starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sucrose, which is often called table sugar, is a member of the carbohydrate, or saccharide, family. Although sucrose is a simple carbohydrate, it is not a simple sugar. The most basic units of all carbohydrates are simple sugars, which are called monosaccharides.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are complex carbohydrates, which are made of lots of simple sugars strung together. Your body needs to break starches down into sugars to use them for energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -The molecule sucrose (common table sugar): The carbohydrate monosaccharides (fructose and glucose) are joined to make the disaccharide sucrose. Biological macromolecules all contain carbon in ring or chain form, which means they are classified as organic molecules.
