The three major types of carbohydrates are sugar, starch, and fiber. Carbohydrates are further broken down into five categories: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides and nucleotides.

Three types of polysaccharides are starch, glycogen, and cellulose. Starch is a storage form of energy in plants, glycogen is stored in animals as a source of energy, and cellulose provides structural support in plant cell walls.
The three most common types of polysaccharides are starch, glycogen, and cellulose. Starch is a glucose polymer and insoluble in water; they must be digested with amylases. Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, where starch is the same in plants. Cellulose forms most structural components in plants, and is indigestible by humans.
Simple Sugars= Monosaccharides
3 common Monosaccharides are Fructose, Glucose, and Galactose
Monosaccharides, example: glucose
Disaccharides, example: maltose
Polysaccharides (starches)
No, polysaccharides are not types of proteins. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made up of multiple sugar molecules, while proteins are macromolecules made up of amino acids.
Disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polysaccharides are all types of carbohydrates consisting of sugar molecules. Peptides, on the other hand, are composed of amino acids and are not related to the other three terms in this context.
The three classes of carbohydrates are monosaccharides (simple sugars), disaccharides (two monosaccharides linked together), and polysaccharides (long chains of monosaccharides).
Monosaccharide , Disaccharide, Polysaccharide
All three are carbon based compounds.
