Disaccharides
Disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharide units bound together by a covalent glycosidic bond.
disaccharides 1. Sugars made up of two monosaccharides held together by a covalent bond; e.g., sucrose and lactose. 2.
Disaccharides
Sucrose, also known as table sugar, is a common disaccharide. It is composed of two monosaccharides: D-glucose (left) and D-fructose (right).

Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides are chemically bonded together. Sucrose, a common plant disaccharide is composed of the monosaccharides glucose and fructose.
Disaccharides
Disaccharides are composed of 2 monosaccharides joined together by a condensation reaction.
Examples: ...
Disaccharides are formed by two monosaccharides linked by a glycosidic bond, for example Sucrose (Glucose+Fructose), Maltose (Glucose+Glucose), Lactose (Glucose+Galactose), etc. (click here to see formulas of disaccharides) ...
Three common disaccharides:
sucrose — common table sugar = glucose + fructose
lactose — major sugar in milk = glucose + galactose
maltose — product of starch digestion = glucose + glucose ...
Carbohydrates may be classified into monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and heterosaccharides. The most fundamental type is the simple sugars called monosaccharides, such as glucose, galactose, and fructose.

A The simplest carbohydrate, active alone or serving as a monomer for disaccharides and polysaccharides. Also known as simple sugars, the molecular formulas of monosaccharides are generally some multiple of CH2O.
