The two main categories of sugars are monosaccharides and disaccharides. Three common disaccharides are sucrose, maltose and lactose.
Sucrose (sugar)
Lactose (milk)
Maltose
sucrose,maltose,lactose
A monosaccharide is the building block of carbohydrates. Some examples of monosaccharides are glucose, sucrose, and galactose. Chains of monosaccharides together form disaccharides and polysaccharides.
Glucose, fructose, and galactose make up disaccharides.
a dissacharide, also known as a double sugar, is a molecule formed by two monosaccharides; Three common examples are sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
The Benedict test is useful for monosaccharides and disaccharides.
A disaccharide's chemical formula depends on the disaccharide. DIsaccharides are merely molecules that have two sugar molecules covalently linked. They can be formed from nearly any permutation of sugar molecules. C6H12O6 is the formula for monosaccharide. C12H22O11 is the formula for disaccharide.
carbohydrates
Disaccharides are sugars whose molecules contain two monosaccharide molecules.
Glucose and Fructose are examples of monosaccharides.
Monosaccharides
Lactose,sucrose,maltose etc.. (they built up of two sugar units)
sucrose (common sugar), lactose, lactulose, trehalose, maltose, and cellobiose are common disaccharides.
ending in -ose examples: glucose, sucrose, galactose, maltose, fructose
Disaccharides are not mixtures.
There are so many different examples of organic compounds. Some of them include monosaccharides, polysaccharides, lipids, proteins nucleic acids and disaccharides among others.
The primary function of disaccharides is as a nutritional source of monosaccharides. Many of the sugars found in foodstuffs are disaccharides.
The primary function of disaccharides is as a nutritional source of monosaccharides. Many of the sugars found in foodstuffs are disaccharides.
The site where digestion of disaccharides takes place is in the mouth. An example of disaccharides is lactose, maltose, and sucrose.
