Both maltose and sucrose are disaccharides. Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides join through a process called dehydration synthesis. Maltose is made from two glucose units and sucrose is made from fructose and glucose. Both maltose and sucrose have the molecular formular: C12H22O11

Sucrose is made by the glosidic linkage between glucose and fructose whereas maltose is made by the glycosidic linkage between two glucose molecules. the first figure is maltose and second is sucrose(courtesy google images)

No, sucrose, maltose and lactose are sugars, not amino acids. They are all disaccharides, that is their molecules consist of two simple sugars joined together.
Sucrose is glucose + fructose. Maltose is glucose + glucose.

Maltose and Lactose are "Reducing Sugar's" in solution with Benedict's Reagent, while sucrose is not.
Maltose and sucrose are examples of disaccharides. Glucose, galactose, and fructose are all examples of monosaccharides.

While they are both C12H22O11, Maltose is a Glucose bonded to a Glucose, while Sucrose is a Glucose bonded to Fructose.
