a disaccharide is "a carbohydrate containing two monosaccharide units joined by a glycosidic bond"
a monosaccharide is a carbon that has the C=O or HC=O group on it with steriocenters and OH groups... Confusing... but the formula is Cn H2n On where n is the number that represents how many.
So basically you have two molecules, (usually heterocyclic carbon rings. that instead of 6 carbons you have 5 carbons with a oxygen.) bonded together with a oxygen.
examples of these are maltose, lactose, and sucrose (type it in on Google to see the structure)
hope it helps, and that i didn't confuse you too much.
The name given to a disaccharide plus water is hydrolysis. This reaction breaks down the disaccharide into its two monosaccharide components by adding a water molecule.
A disaccharide typically contains one glycosidic bond, which means there is one ring structure formed between two monosaccharide units. Therefore, a disaccharide contains one ring.
The disaccharide found in milk is lactose. It is composed of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of galactose.
A disaccharide is also known as a double sugar because it consists of two monosaccharide molecules joined together through a glycosidic bond.
A disaccharide contains two rings, one ring for each monosaccharide unit that is joined together through a glycosidic bond.
