What is produced from the hydrolysis of a disaccaride?

A disaccharide is two monosaccharides bound together by an ether linkage. Therefore, the product of hydrolysis of a disaccharide is two monosaccharides, or simple sugars as they are usually called. One reason reactions such as this are called "hydrolysis" reactions is because the reaction requires one molecule of water. Sucrose, or table sugar or cane sugar, is a disaccharide. The reaction of the hydrolysis of sucrose is: Sucrose + H2O -----> Glucose + Fructose (The reaction is catalyzed by acid in a lab and by the enzyme Sucrase in the human body. The hydrolysis is imperceptibly slow without acid. That is why sucrose doesn't hydrolyze when it's dissolved in plain water.)


What comes together to form a disaccharide?

Is lactose a polysaccharide or a disaccharide?

What is a monomer for disaccharide?

A Disaccharide, or double sugar, is comprised of two monosaccharides (simple sugars) through a dehydration reaction. So a monomer for any disaccharide can be any basic isomerism of any monosaccharide such as: glucose, fructose, or galactose.

What enzymes are needed to breakdown disaccharides?

The enzymes needed to break down disaccharides are sucrase (for sucrose), lactase (for lactose), and maltase (for maltose). These enzymes are required to hydrolyze the glycosidic bond holding the two sugar units together in the disaccharide.


What forms a disaccharide?

A disaccharide is formed when 2 monosaccharide's condenses in water. A disaccharide is essentially just a carbohydrate that is formed when a small molecule is eliminated.


What is it called when two sugar molecules bond with each other?
