Monosaccharide
(gcide) | Monosaccharide \Mon`o*sac"cha*ride\, n. Also -rid \-rid\ .
[Mono- + saccharide.] (Chem.)
A simple sugar; any of a number of sugars (including the
trioses, tetroses, pentoses, hexoses, etc.), not decomposable
into simpler sugars by hydrolysis. Specif., as used by some,
a hexose. The monosaccharides are all open-chain compounds
containing hydroxyl groups and either an aldehyde group or a
ketone group.

polysaccharide
(gcide) | macromolecule \mac`ro*mol"e*cule\, n. (Chem., Biochem.)
A very large molecule, especially a polymer having from
hundreds to many thousands of atoms, such as DNA, RNA,
protein, polysaccharide, polyethylene, polycarbonate,
etc.

Trisaccharide
