  • Disaccharides: Understanding Sugar Composed of Two Monosaccharides
    Two monosaccharides joined together consist of a disaccharide.

    Here are some examples:

    * Sucrose (table sugar) is made of glucose and fructose.

    * Lactose (milk sugar) is made of glucose and galactose.

    * Maltose (malt sugar) is made of two glucose molecules.

    The bond that joins the two monosaccharides is called a glycosidic bond.
