A disaccharide is composed of two monosaccharides attached by either an alpha or beta glcosidic bond.
Monosaccharides and disaccharides are examples of carbohydrates. Monosaccharides are single sugar molecules, while disaccharides are composed of two sugar molecules linked together.
The Benedict test is useful for monosaccharides and disaccharides.
Monosaccharides are single sugar molecules, while disaccharides are made up of two monosaccharides joined together. Disaccharides are formed through a dehydration reaction, where a water molecule is removed to bond the two monosaccharides together.
The primary function of disaccharides is as a nutritional source of monosaccharides. Many of the sugars found in foodstuffs are disaccharides.

The monosaccharide commonly found in all disaccharides is glucose. Disaccharides are formed by the combination of two monosaccharides, and glucose pairs with other monosaccharides to create common disaccharides such as sucrose (glucose and fructose) and lactose (glucose and galactose).
The three classes of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides
