The complex relationships between the components in a system mean that a system is more than simply the sum of its parts. It has properties that are properties of the system a â¦ s a whole and cannot be attributed to any specific part of the system, known as 'emergent properties'.
A disaccharide (also called a double sugar or biose) is the sugar formed when two monosaccharides (simple sugars) are joined. Like monosaccharides, disaccharides are soluble in water. Three common examples are sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
Disaccharides. Disaccharides are compounds that contain a bond between carbon(1) of one sugar and a hydroxyl group at any position on the other sugar. Disaccharides are sugars containing two hexose units, such as sucrose in cane sugar, maltose in malt sugar and lactose in milk sugar.isaccharides.
