Explanation:

Oligosaccharides (OS) are short chains of monosaccharides (between 2 and 10) that has a diverse variety of functions in biology.

In the human body, for example, OS can be linked to phospholipids (these are called glycoproteins) and function as cell markers for immunological processes and cell-to-cell interaction.
