No.Shortly, maltose is a disaccharide formed from 2 glucose molecules attached to each other with an alpha 1-4 glycosidic bond, and maltase is an enzyme - biological catalyst that brakes maltose molecule to 2 gcucose molecules.

What does maltase produce?
Two glucose, because maltose is two glucose join together
What is substrate of maltase?
maltase is found in intestinal juice and hydrolyzes maltose to glucose. Substrate = maltose Product = glucose
How fast does maltase work?
really
Maltase and sucrase is made in?
Maltase is an enzyme produced by the cells lining the small intestine.
Where is maltase produced?
Maltase is an enzyme produced by the cells lining the small intestine.
What are the reactants and products of carbohydrate breakdown?
During carbohydrate breakdown, the reactants are salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase, maltase, sucrase and lactase. The products are maltose, glucose, fructose and fiber.
What does maltase produce?
Two glucose, because maltose is two glucose join together
What is the function of maltose?
A disaccharide carbohydrate, maltose can be easily hydrolised into 2 glucose molecules. (In humans, such a hydrolysis is accomplished by the enzyme maltase) As such, it is a rather efficient, energy-yielding molecule. (Glucose, as we all know, is a ubiquitous energy-providing molecule)
Difference between maltose and cellulose?
difference between cellulose and maltose is that cellulose is (chiefly in technical texts) while maltose is (carbohydrate) a disaccharide, c12h22o11 formed from the digestion of starch by amylase; is converted to glucose by maltase.
The specific function of the enzyme maltase?
Maltase is a biological catalyst used in digestion. Once starch has been broken down to maltose,maltase continues the chemical digestion and breaks the maltose down to glucose, ie a soluble, smaller molecule that can easily be absorbed.
What conclusion can be drawn from the experiment when amylase and maltase were added to a maltose solution?
Maltase digests only maltose
What enzyme is used to make maltose?
Name of this enzyme is Maltese. It is present in the brush border of the lining of small intestine.
What is substrate of maltase?
maltase is found in intestinal juice and hydrolyzes maltose to glucose. Substrate = maltose Product = glucose
What substance is acted on by maltase?
Maltase is an enzyme that acts on the compound maltose. It is present in saliva and pancreatic juice and catalyzes maltose into glucose.
Can maltase drink milk?
Yes
What is the temperature of maltase?
35 to 40ºC
Is Maltese a polysaccharide?
Is Maltase a polysaccharide
