Saccharides are sugars or carbohydrates

The prefix mono means one
The prefix di means 2
Monosaccharides are 1 basic carbohydrate molecule
Disaccharides are 2 basic carbohydrate molecule

Crash course biology has a great video on this that explains the biological significance of proteins lipids carbohydrates and the nucleic acids

hope this helps
