Classification of Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are a major biomolecule and can be classified into various types, including monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. They play critical roles in energy supply and structural functions in living organisms. A common example of a monosaccharide is glucose, while sucrose is a well-known disaccharide. Given this information, which type of carbohydrate best describes two glucose molecules linked together by a glycosidic bond?
