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.
Monosaccharides combine to make disaccharides or polysaccharides through a dehydration synthesis reaction, where a water molecule is released. Examples of disaccharides include sucrose (glucose + fructose) and lactose (glucose + galactose). Examples of polysaccharides include starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
When two monosaccharides link together by Glycosidic bond (type of covalent bond formed by sugar molecule with others) they form a disaccharide. Example of disaccharides: Sucrose - glucose + Fructose Lactose - Galasctose + Glucose
Monosaccharides
Glucose and Fructose are examples of monosaccharides.
polysaccharides have more chemical bonds.
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.
Disaccharides are formed by a dehydration reaction (condensation) between two monosaccharides, resulting in the formation of a glycosidic bond. This process involves the removal of a water molecule to join the two monosaccharides together. Common examples of disaccharides include sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
The primary function of disaccharides is as a nutritional source of monosaccharides. Many of the sugars found in foodstuffs are disaccharides.

The three classes of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides
Monosaccharides are single sugar molecules, such as glucose and fructose, while disaccharides are made up of two monosaccharides linked together, like sucrose (glucose + fructose) and lactose (glucose + galactose). Monosaccharides are the building blocks of carbohydrates and can be quickly absorbed by the body, while disaccharides require more digestion to break down into monosaccharides for absorption.
