A disaccharide.
Disaccharide. A+
A disaccharide is formed from two monosaccharides by a reaction called dehydration synthesis.
There are a few! A double sugar is called a disaccharide. :) Lactose is one. (This is formed by the synthesis of galactose and glucose, which are monosaccharides.) Maltose is another. (It is formed by two glucose hooking up.) Sucrose is yet another. (Formed by fructose and glucose.) They are all formed through the removal of water, or dehydration synthesis. Hope this helps!!
Disaccharide
Two Monosaccharides
When two monosaccharides combine, a molecule of water (H2O) is formed as a byproduct, and a glycosidic bond is formed between the two monosaccharides. This results in the formation of a disaccharide.

disaccharide
Sucrose, which is table sugar, is a disaccharide composed of the monosaccharides glucose and fructose chemically combined. Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose monosaccharides chemically combined.
Disaccharide, or double sugar, is the sugar that forms between two monosaccharide's. Examples of monosaccharide's include: glucose, fructose, and galactose.
