Monosaccharides.
Both words, monosaccharide and disaccharide break down into 2 parts. The 'saccharide' bit in each means 'sugar' and comes from an ancient Greek word. The prefixes 'mono' and 'di' mean 'one' and 'two' respectively, and again they're also from ancient Greek. If you break apart a disaccharide (a two-sugars) you get a monosaccharide (a one-sugar). Both Greek and Latin are used quite a bit in Biology (which stems from a time when if you were educated at all then you learn to read and write both languages). The prefixes here, the 'mono' and 'di' are used more broadly than just sugar chemistry.

What kind of organic compounds that function in building tissues and acting as enzymes?
Two organic compounds that act as enzymes are maltase and amylase. Amylase is involved in the breakdown of starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides, which are then broken down into glucose by other enzymes. Maltase is involved in the breakdown of the disaccharide maltose, a disaccharide formed when starch is broken down.
Is lactose a polysaccharide or a disaccharide?
Disaccharide
What is the name of the molecule formed when two monosccharides join together?
Disaccharide
What is it called when two sugar molecules bond with each other?
Glucose and fructose chemically combine to form the disaccharide sucrose.
What two bonds form disaccharide?
Two molecules of monosaccharides. It depends on the disaccharide.
What do complex carbohydrates breakdown into?
simple sugars known as saccharides. monosaccharide - 1 disaccharide - 2 polysaccharide - 3 or more

Is lactose a polysaccharide or a disaccharide?
Disaccharide
Is cellulose a disaccharide?
Cellulose is a polysaccharide, not a disaccharide
What comes together to form a disaccharide?
Fructose and glucose combine to form a disaccharide.
What is the name of the molecule formed when two monosccharides join together?
Disaccharide
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.
What is it called when two sugar molecules bond with each other?
Glucose and fructose chemically combine to form the disaccharide sucrose.
What are some of the other names for sugar?
there is disaccharide and there is also monosaccharides and also disaccharide :)
Is sodium chloride a disaccharide?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an inorganic salt, not a disaccharide.
What two bonds form disaccharide?
Two molecules of monosaccharides. It depends on the disaccharide.
Sucrose table sugar C12H22O11 is a disaccharide formed when?
yes table sugar is a disaccharide.
