Brief Explanations
Lactose is composed of two simple sugar units, glucose and galactose. A disaccharide is defined as a sugar formed by the glycosidic bonding of two monosaccharides. Complex carbohydrates (like starches) have more than two sugar units linked in chains. Monosaccharides are single sugar units (e.g., glucose). Polysaccharides have many sugar units (e.g., glycogen).
