Answer: Because they have more bonds in them

Explanation:

More complex sugars have more bonds available that can be broken down into more simpler form.

When more complex carbohydrates are broken down into simpler carbohydrates then energy is released from the breaking of complex bonds into simpler form.

This is the reason why disaccharides have more energy as compared to that of monosaccharides.
