A disaccharide is a type of carbohydrate composed of two monosaccharide units linked together. Examples of disaccharides include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose). They are broken down into their monosaccharide components during digestion for absorption by the body.
