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 are formed from two monosaccharides joined together. Examples of disaccharides include sucrose, maltose, and lactose. Monosaccharides and disaccharides are sweet, water soluble, and crystalline. Polysaccharides are polymerized monosaccharides, complex, unsweet carbohydrates. Examples are starch, cellulose, and glycogen.
