Detailed explanation-1: -The three main monosaccharides that we consume are fructose, galactose and glucose. These monosaccharides combine in various pairs to form the three disaccharides that are most important in human nutrition: lactose, maltose and sucrose. The monosaccharide glucose is the common thread in each of these disaccharides.
Detailed explanation-2: -The second group is the cell wall polysaccharides, which are derived in our diet mainly from plants, but also from fungi and algae (either directly or added as ingredients). Starch is the major storage carbohydrate in plants, and the major source of calories in many plant organs and foods.
