Explanation

A di-saccharide or biose is the carbohydrate formed when two mono-saccharides undergo a condensation reaction which involves the elimination of a small molecule, such as water, from the functional groups only. Like mono-saccharides, di-saccharides also dissolve in water, taste sweet and are called sugars.
