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 sugars or carbohydrates made by linking two monosaccharides. This is a list of some disaccharides, including the monosaccharides they are made from and foods containing them. Sucrose, maltose, and lactose are the most familiar disaccharides, but there are others. 1  sucrose (saccharose). 2  glucose + fructose. 3  Sucrose is table sugar. 4  It is purified from sugar cane or sugar beets. 5  maltose. 6  glucose + glucose. 7  Maltose is a sugar found in some cereals and candies.
