Differences between and examples of disaccharides monosaccharides polysaccharides?

Answer 1

Monosaccharides: have a chemical formula of C6H12O6.

-the basic unit of carbohydrates

-the simplest form of sugar

-Glucose, Galactose, Fructose

Disaccharides: have the chemical formula C12H22O11, consist of two monosaccharides which are joined by the process of dehydration synthesis (during while a molecule of water is formed)

-Maltose, Lactose, Sucrose

Polysaccharides: polymers of carbohydrates, three or more monosaccharides joined together through the process of dehydration synthesis.

-Cellulose, Glycogen, Starch

Answer 2

A Monosaccharide is one "sugar" molecule. Three Monosaccharides would be sucrose, fructose, and galactose.

Therefore, a Disaccharide contains only two monosaccharides, but a Polysaccharide contains more than two.

Dissacharide: Sucrose

Polysaccharide: Glycogen

Answer 3

polysaccharides are compounds made up of various repeating small units

for example starch, cellulose, etc

Homo polysaccharides are made up of the same repeating units

for example starch is made up of only glucose units

hetero polysaccharides are made up of two or more repeating units

for example glycoprotiens, glycolipids etc

Answer 4

monosaccharides :

1. are single sugar unit.

2.like glucose, fructose,galactose.

disaccharides

1. are two monosaccharides, two monosaccharides forms disaccharides after condensation (removing a molecule of water).

2. like sucrose, lactose, maltose.

polysaccharides

1. are union of many many mono- or disaccharides after condensation or removing of a molecule of water at each linkage point.

2. like starch and cellulose.

And all of them are branched or linear carbohydrates.

Answer 5

Glucose + Fructose -> Sucrose

Glucose + Glucose -> Maltose

Glucose + Galactose -> Lactose
