Disaccharide
Explanation:
Monosaccharides are the building blocks of carbohydrates. When two monosaccharides bind together with a condensation reaction they are called disaccharides.
When the molecules become even larger they are called polysaccharides. Sometimes the term oligosaccharide is used for carbohydrates consisting of approximately 3 to 10 monosaccharides.
