Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates that yield two to ten monosaccharide units, on hydrolysis, are called oligosaccharides. They are further classified as disaccharides, trisaccharides, tetrasaccharides, etc., depending upon the number of monosaccharides, they provide on hydrolysis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrolysis of the glycosidic bonds yields the component monosaccharides. Monosaccharides can be further classified by their most highly oxidized functional group.
