Why are the prefixes “mono” “di”, and “poly and the base “saccharide” good to use when describing the three types of carbohydrates?

“Mono” denotes one, “di” denotes two, and “poly” denotes a large number. 

What is the significance of these words in defining the

These terms are used because they depict how the 

molecule appears. 

The molecule's base unit is called a "saccharide."
