A carbohydrate polymer with two subunits is called a "disaccharide.
" "Di-" means two, and "saccharide" refers to a sugar unit.
Disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharide units linked together by a glycosidic bond.
Common examples of disaccharides include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).
