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.
Image Credit: Main Image: Disaccharides, meaning âtwo sugars â, are the carbohydrates formed when two monosaccharides are joined, basically when the 2 monosaccharide molecules undergo a condensation reaction which involves the elimination of a small molecule, such as water, from the functional groups only.ome of the common Disaccharides are as follows. 1  Sucrose (table sugar, cane sugar, beet sugar): It is a white, odorless crystalline powder with a sweet taste. 2  It is best known for its role in human nutrition. 3  Sucrose is made up of glucose (monosaccharide) and fructose (monosaccharide).
