disaccharide the can be made form two glucose molecules, from a glycosidic bond, the linkage will be one of two types, or B, depending on whether the molecule the molecule that bonds its carbon 1 is an -glucose or B-glucose. An - linkage with carbon 4 of a seonc glucose molecule results in maltose, whereas a B-linkage results in cellobiose. As disaccharides, maltose and cellobiose also share the some formula C12H22 O11, but they are different compound with with different properties for example maltose can be hydrolyzed to its monosaccharides in the human body where as cellobisoise can not some organisms have he capacity to break down cellobiose.(18)

So that the three common is accharide they share they some chemical formula, but univalve different structure. Where as moltoe links two glucose unit by an (1-4) glycosidic linkage between C-1 of one unit and C-4 of the other units they maltose can exist in and B form.
