(In the body, sucrose hydrolyses into fructose and glucose.) Other disaccharides include maltose and lactose.Longer chains of sugars are called oligosaccharides.ugar is the generalized name for sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food.

DEFINITION of 'Botnet' A network of internet-connected devices that have been compromised by hackers without the knowledge of the legitimate owners.
Bot is actually short for robot â not the kind found in science fiction movies or on the production line in a manufacturing business. Bots are one of the most sophisticated types of crimeware facing the Internet today. Bots are similar to worms and Trojans, but earn their unique name by performing a wide variety of automated tasks on behalf of their master (the cybercriminals) who are often safely located somewhere far across the Internet.
