Monosaccharides and Disaccharides:
Monosaccharides are frequently called single or simple sugars and are the simplest of all carbohydrates. That is the building blocks of all higher carbohydrates. The Monosaccharides are ketones or aldehydes and commonly have two or more hydroxyl sets. Which are the important fuel molecules required through our body and cannot be hydrolyzed to smaller carbohydrates. All the monosaccharides have a common molecular formula (CH2O)n.
A disaccharide or biose is the carbohydrate establishes when two monosaccharides undergo a condensation reaction that includes the elimination of a small molecule, like as water, from the functional sets only. Such as monosaccharides, disaccharides form an aqueous solution when dissolved in water. Three general instance are maltose, lactose and sucrose.

The Disaccharide is one of the four chemical collections of carbohydrates (monosaccharide, oligosaccharide, disaccharide and polysaccharide).
