Carbohydrates are classified in three major categories depending upon the number of sub units joining to form them. These are,
Monosaccharides
Oligosaccharides
Polysachharides
The simplest single units are monosaccharides, if units are ranging between two and twenty they are called oligosaccharides and above twenty joining units they are called polysachharides.
Result:
<span>The proper name for a carbohydrate polymer with 2 subunits is called Oligosachharide in general and Disaccharide in specific.</span>

Answer:
a. New alpha- 1,6 linkages can only form if the branch has a free reducing end
b. The number of sites for enzyme action on a glycogen molecule is increased through alpha- 1,6 linkages
c. At least four glucose residues separate alpha-1,6 linkages
e. The reaction that forms alpha-1,6 linkages is catalyzed by a branching enzyme.
Explanation:
Glycogen i is the main storage polysaccharide in animals. It a homoplymer of (alpha-1-->4)-linked subunits of glucose molecules, with alpha-1--->6)-linked branches.
The alpha-1,6 branches are formed by the glycogen-branching enzyme which catalyzes the transfer of about 7 glucose residues from the non-reducing end of a glycogen branch having at least 11 residues to the C-6 hydroxyl group of a glucose residue which lies inside the same glycogen chain or another glycogen chain, thereby forming a new branch. This ensures that there are at least four glucose residues separating alpha-1,6 linkages.
The effect of branching is that it makes the glycogen molecule more soluble and also increases the number of non-reducing ends, thereby increasing the number of sites for the action of the enzymes glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen synthase.
