Which class of carbohydrates is considered as non-sugar?
A
Monosaccharides
B
Disaccharides
C
Polysaccharides
D
Oligosaccharides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates which yield a large number of monosaccharide units on hydrolysis are called polysaccharides. Some common examples are Starch, Cellulose, Glycogen, Gums, Polysaccharides are long chains of sugars. Polysaccharides are not sweet in taste, hence they are also called non-sugars.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates which yield a large number of monosaccharide units hydrolysis are called polysaccharides. Some common examples are Starch, Cellulose, Glycogen, Gums, etc. Polysaccharides are long chains of sugars but since they are not sweet in taste, hence they are also called non-sugars.

Detailed explanation-3: -3. Which class of carbohydrates is considered as non-sugar? Explanation: When hundreds or thousands of monosaccharides condense together, it will form polysaccharides. These are not sweet in taste hence they are called non-sugars.

Detailed explanation-4: -Polysaccharides are long chains of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. Three important polysaccharides, starch, glycogen, and cellulose, are composed of glucose. Starch and glycogen serve as short-term energy stores in plants and animals, respectively.

Detailed explanation-5: -Polysaccharide are not sweet in taste so they are also called non-sugars.
