What are the physical and chemical properties of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides?

0

in general, monosaccharides and disaccharides are highly soluble compounds in polar solvents (as water) due to the presence of abundant hydroxyl groups in those molecules. Polysaccharides (as starch and celulose) are less soluble (or completely insoluble as the case of cellulose) than the mono and disaccharides because of their high molecular mass.
