disaccharides have
A
one molecule
B
two molecules
C
three molecules
D
many molecules
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is made up of 2 molecules of glucose which are linked differently. This can be found in fungi, plants, and insects. It is formed from galactose and fructose.

Detailed explanation-2: -disaccharide, also called double sugar, any substance that is composed of two molecules of simple sugars (monosaccharides) linked to each other.

Detailed explanation-3: -Two monosaccharide molecules may chemically bond to form a disaccharide. The name given to the covalent bond between the two monosaccharides is a glycosidic bond. Glycosidic bonds form between hydroxyl groups of the two saccharide molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -When 2 glucose molecules link up, this sugar is known as maltose. It is a disaccharide (2 sugars). When many glucose molecules link together in a long chain, molecules called polysaccharides (many sugars) are formed.

Detailed explanation-5: -A quick glance tells us that a monosaccharide has just one ring, a disaccharide has two, and a polysaccharide has many. Beyond that, though, there’s another important structural feature.
