A disaccharide is a molecule formed by two monosaccharides, or simple sugars. Maltose is a disaccharide made out of ____ + ____ molecules bound together.
A
Glucose & Lactose
B
Glucose & Fructose
C
Glucose & Sucrose
D
Glucose & Glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A disaccharide (also called a double sugar ) is the sugar formed when two monosaccharides (simple sugars) are joined by glycosidic linkage. Like monosaccharides, disaccharides are soluble in water. Three common examples are sucrose, lactose, and maltose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Disaccharides. Disaccharides (di-= “two”) form when two monosaccharides join together via a dehydration reaction, also known as a condensation reaction or dehydration synthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Maltose (C12H22O11), also known as maltobiose or malt sugar, is a disaccharide formed from two units of glucose joined with an -bond between the glucose units and is a two-unit member of the amylose homologous series which is the major structural component of starch.

Detailed explanation-4: -disaccharide, also called double sugar, any substance that is composed of two molecules of simple sugars (monosaccharides) linked to each other.
