   Disaccharide
   Just as there are monomers, dimers, trimers, oligomers, and polymers, indicating one, two, three, several, and many identical units joined together in a molecule, the combinations of saccharides (aka sugars) are known as mono-, di-, tri-, oligo- and polysaccharides. An example of a disaccharide is sucrose, composed of the simple sugars glucose and fructose joined by an ether linkage. An example of a polysaccharide is chitin, a nitrogen-containing polymer of modified glucose units that makes up t...
