Answer:

In biological terms, the suffix -saccharide means a group that incorporates starch, cellulose, and sugar. The Latin name of saccharide is sakkharon which means sugar.

Explanation:

Suffixes are morphemes that are included at the very end of some words to create a derivative. Saccharides are branched into four chemical groups.

They are; polysaccharide, disaccharide, monosaccharide, and oligosaccharide. Here, poly is a word and saccharide is added to the end of it to create a new derivative. In biochemistry, the saccharide is the synonym of carbohydrates.
