Does Sugar Disslove In Water?
Yes.The answer above is mostly right. However, there are several different sugars which can be divided into two groups: monosaccharides and disaccharides. Monosaccharides are single sugars such as glucose, fructose, and galactose. Glucose and fructose are found commonly in fruits and berries.Disaccharides are double sugars and there are three groups: Sucrose, Lactose, and Maltose. Upon digestion...Sucrose breaks down into the two monosaccharides glucoseand fructose.Lactose breaks down into the two monosaccharides glucoseand galactose.Maltose breaks down into the two monosaccharides glucoseand glucose.Therefore the only sugar that breaks down into glucose and fructose is Sucrose.Lactose partly digests into glucose but not fructose, whilst maltose breaks down totally to glucose.I hope that clarifies it a bit more.
Is lactose free milk sugar free?
No. The lactose is broken down into it's components, glucose and galactose.
Whats the function of the lactase substrate?
Lactase is the bodily enzyme that breaks down Lactose, a sugar found in milk.
What do carbohydrates provide in plants?
Carbohydrates are really any individual sugar molecule (monosaccharides) or strand of sugar molecules (polysaccharides). The monosaccharides are made by a plant cell through photosynthesis. These monosaccharides are either stored in plant starch (very small amount), used by the plant for growth and energy, or converted into cellulose, a long polysaccharide that is extremely rigid and impossible to break down without the help of specialized bacteria.
What monosaccharides are formed upon hydrolysis?
glucose (the principal sugar found in blood, a hexose), and fructose (the principal sugar found in fruit, a pentose). Both of these monosaccharides have 6 carbons each, and an Oxygen atom in the ring.
What is the function of B-galactosidase?
B-gal breaks down galactosides into monosaccharides. Lactase, a subclass of b-gal, breaks down the sugar lactose in the small intestine. When people don't secrete these enzymes they are lactose intolerant.
Why doesnt the lactase in lactose intolerant people work?
Lactose intolerant people have a deficiency of an enzyme called lactase, which breaks up the lactose into two monosaccharides called galactose and glucose. These two are easily digestable, whereas lactose is not.
Name the three disaccharides and the enzymes that break them down into monosaccharides?
sucrose - common table sugar = glucose + fructoselactose - major sugar in milk = glucose + galactosemaltose - product of starch digestion = glucose + glucose
Why does milk not taste sweet?
Lactose, which is a disaccharide (sugar) makes up between 2% and 8% of milk by weight. In digestion, it is broken down into glucose and galactose (monosaccharides). But lactose does not have the sweet taste associated with most sugars.
What do you get when you break-down a polysaccharide?
Monosaccharides.
Why does milk not taste very sweet?
Lactose, which is a disaccharide (sugar) makes up between 2% and 8% of milk by weight. In digestion, it is broken down into glucose and galactose (monosaccharides). But lactose does not have the sweet taste associated with most sugars.
Does lactose break down in water or alcohol spontaneously?
No, lactose does not spontaneously break down in water or alcohol. Lactose is broken down by the body. In those with lactose intolerance, it is not always broken down correctly and is expelled from the body.
What is responsible for the sweet taste of milk?
Lactose, which is a disaccharide (sugar) makes up between 2% and 8% of milk by weight. In digestion, it is broken down into glucose and galactose (monosaccharides). Lactose, also called milk sugar, provides some sweetness, but its really a very bland sugar. Most of the sweetness is actually due to the fat/cream.
What sugar is responsible for lactose intolerance?
Galactose is involved with lactose intolerance, but is not responsible for lactose intolerance. The enzyme that is missing or is not found in great enough quantities in the body, lactase, is responsible for not breaking down lactose. This is how the intolerance comes about. The body cannot properly break down lactose without the enzyme lactase present.
What does lactose break down into?
Lactose functions at the brush border to break down lactose into smaller sugars called glucose and galactose for absorption.
What does lactose do?
Firstly, I think you phrased this question wrong because lactose is a substrate. It is the job of lactase (and enzyme) to break down lactose. Some people are lactose intolerant because their bodies do not have enough lactase enzymes to break down lactose.
What does lactobacteria break down?
They break down lactose and other sugars to lactic acid
