Maltose is made up of two glucose molecules.
Two monosaccharides are needed to form one maltose molecule. Specifically, maltose is comprised of two glucose molecules joined together through a condensation reaction, which releases a molecule of water.
No, fructose is a hexose sugar, it is made up of 6 carbons.
starches and monosaccharides are carbohydrates, and monosaccharides make up starches, which is a polysaccharide.
The general formula of monosaccharides is C6H12O6.
Maltose, sucrose, lactose.
Lactose, or milk sugar, is a disaccharide composed by a galactose and a glucose linked by an alfa 1 - 4 bond. Its biochemical name is O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 - 4)-D-glucopyranose.
The subunits that make up polysaccharides are sugars, or monosaccharides. An example of a monosaccharide is glucose, which we need for energy.
monosaccharides
Maltose, by definition, is a disaccharide made up of two molecules of glucose, so it cannot be a monosaccharide. Glucose itself, however, is a monosaccharide. Monosaccharides are the most basic units of carbohydrates and form the links in much larger chains of polysaccharides.

Maltose and sucrose are examples of disaccharides. Glucose, galactose, and fructose are all examples of monosaccharides.
