One structural difference between oligosaccharides and polysaccharides is the number of monosaccharide units they consist of. Oligosaccharides have a relatively small number of monosaccharide units (typically 3 to 10), while polysaccharides have a larger number of monosaccharide units (often hundreds or thousands).
