Disaccharide
Sugar molecules are bonded together by a process called dehydration synthesis.
When two glucose molecules are chemically bonded together, they form a water molecule and sugar maltose. This process is called dehydration synthesis.
If a sugar is composed of two monomers, it is called a disaccharide.
Monomers are similar identical units covalently bonded to each other to from polymers. The monomer of carbohydrates are monosaccharides. Carbohydrates are polymers so its monomer is a simple sugar called monosaccharide.

Sugar molecules are bonded together by a process called dehydration synthesis.
A disaccharide (e.g. sucrose; or ordinary, off-the-shelf table sugar) is a carbohydrate molecule that consists of two monosaccharides (single carbohydrate monomers) joined together by a glycosidic bond.
Monosaccharides and DisaccharidesIn the category of nutrients, there are monomers and polymers. Monomers are the "building blocks" of large macromolecules, or any molecule chain created through condensation reactions. These are the polymers, three or more monomers bonded together. In the category of carbohydrates, there are monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosacchaides, and polysaccharides. Just from the prefixes, you can tell that the monosaccharides are monomers, the disaccharides are two bonded monomers (monosaccharides) and oligosacchaides and polysaccharides are made up of many monomers (monosaccharides).The monosaccharides are just a single carbon ring (in the natural aqueous environment of an organism). The monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose. The disaccharides are two carbon rings bonded together by a glycosidic linkage in a condensation (dehydration) reaction, which removes a molecule of water. Disaccharides include maltose (glucose + glucose), lactose (glucose + galactose), sucrose (glucose + fructose), and more.When we consume food, we are taking in the large polysacchaides such as starch and smaller molecules such as maltose. We take these long molecules and digest them - break up their glycosidic linkages until they are monosaccharides (monomers) that we can absorb throughout out alimentary canal (usually in small intestine).A monosaccharide is one saccharide (or sugar) molecule. An example of a monosaccharide is glucose.A disaccharide is two saccharides (sugars) bonded together through a dehydration reaction. An example of a disaccharide is maltose which is two glucose linked together.A polysaccharide is typically ten or more saccharides bonded together. Cellulose is an example of a polysaccharide, which is ten or more glucose linked together.
Monomers of carbohydrates:Monosaccharides-single simple sugar (honey, glucose fruit)Disaccharides- Two monosaccharides bonded together (sucrose,lactose)Polysaccharides-long chain of sugar units, Complex carbohydrates.(starch,cellulose)
