A collective term used to refer to all monosaccharide and disaccharide?
carbohydrates. this term refers to simple and complex sugars such as monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. this term also refers to starches.
Do all 3 disaccharides act as reducing agents?
Lactose and maltose are reducing disaccharides.
What enzymes are needed to breakdown disaccharides?
The enzymes lactase, maltase, and isomaltase (or sucrase) are needed to break down the disaccharides.
Does isomerism exist in disaccharides?
Yes
What is one component of all disaccharides?
glucose
Why do more complex sugar disaccharides store more energy than monosaccarides?
disaccharides have more chemical bonds
Why do the more complex sugar disaccharides store more energy than monosaccarides?
disaccharides have more chemical bonds
Does a monosacride or disaccharide store more energy?
More energy is in disaccharides. They contain more bonds.
What does starch breaks down to?
starch molecule degraded to disaccharides and trisaccharides by amylases and ultimately these will make glucose(which will be used as energy providing nutrient by cells).
What are the purposes of a disaccharide?
Disaccharides provide a way of storing energy for future use. Apart from being broken down to release the stored energy, they are also used to form more complex forms of starch.
Why are lipids good energy sources?
Becauuse they contain starches and disaccharides and i love rainbows
In the body starch breaks down to form what?
starch molecule degraded to disaccharides and trisaccharides by amylases and ultimately these will make glucose(which will be used as energy providing nutrient by cells).
Are disaccharides mixtures?
Disaccharides are not mixtures.
What is the function of disaccharides?
The primary function of disaccharides is as a nutritional source of monosaccharides. Many of the sugars found in foodstuffs are disaccharides.
What is the function is disaccharides?
The primary function of disaccharides is as a nutritional source of monosaccharides. Many of the sugars found in foodstuffs are disaccharides.
Site where digestion of disaccharides takes place?
The site where digestion of disaccharides takes place is in the mouth. An example of disaccharides is lactose, maltose, and sucrose.
What is the function of monosaccharides?
Monosaccharides are the simplest fort of carbohydrates. They serve as the building blocks of disaccharides and polysaccharides. They basically provide the body with energy.
