What do living organisms break down polysaccharides into

Polysaccharides are broken down into disaccharides before being further broken down into monosaccharides by living organisms.

One such example is starch, a polysaccharide, which is broken down into maltose, a disaccharide, which is further broken down into glucose, a monosaccharide.

Polysaccharides are broken down into single sugars called monosaccharides
