A disaccharide is the carbohydrate formed when two monosaccharides undergo a condensation reaction which involves the elimination of a small molecule, such as water, from the functional groups. Like monosaccharides, disaccharides form an aqueous solution when dissolved in water. Three common examples are sucrose, lactose, and maltose. Sucrose is made by bonding a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule together, lactose (milk sugar) made from a glucose and a galactose.

What forms a disaccharide?
A disaccharide is formed when 2 monosaccharide's condenses in water. A disaccharide is essentially just a carbohydrate that is formed when a small molecule is eliminated.
