A disaccharide results when two monosaccharides join together.
The process that joins monomers in a disaccharide or polysaccharide is called dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction. In this process, a water molecule is removed as the monomers are joined together to form a larger sugar molecule.
Disaccharide
A condensation reaction joins two monosaccharides to form a disaccharide. In this reaction, a water molecule is eliminated as the two monosaccharides bond together through a glycosidic linkage.
Lactose is a disaccharide composed of two monosaccharides, glucose and galactose, linked together.
A disaccharide is formed when two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration synthesis reaction, also known as a condensation reaction. In this process, a molecule of water is removed, and the two monosaccharides are joined together by a glycosidic bond. This results in the formation of a disaccharide.
No. Two monosaccharides (carbohydrate monomers) bond together with a glycosidic linkage with the elimination of a water molecule to form a disaccharide.

Disaccharide
The name for a molecule made of two sugar monomers bonded together is a disaccharide. It is formed through a condensation reaction that links the two sugar units through a glycosidic bond. Examples of disaccharides include sucrose, lactose, and maltose.

A Disaccharide, or double sugar, is comprised of two monosaccharides (simple sugars) through a dehydration reaction. So a monomer for any disaccharide can be any basic isomerism of any monosaccharide such as: glucose, fructose, or galactose.
Lactose is a disaccharide composed of two monosaccharides, glucose and galactose, linked together.
A disaccharide is two monosaccharides bound together by an ether linkage. Therefore, the product of hydrolysis of a disaccharide is two monosaccharides, or simple sugars as they are usually called. One reason reactions such as this are called "hydrolysis" reactions is because the reaction requires one molecule of water. Sucrose, or table sugar or cane sugar, is a disaccharide. The reaction of the hydrolysis of sucrose is: Sucrose + H2O -----> Glucose + Fructose (The reaction is catalyzed by acid in a lab and by the enzyme Sucrase in the human body. The hydrolysis is imperceptibly slow without acid. That is why sucrose doesn't hydrolyze when it's dissolved in plain water.)
Single monosaccharide glucose molecules may join together by a condensation reaction/dehydration synthesis reaction to form a disaccharide called maltose.
Fructose and Glucose bond together to form disaccharide.
