What is the name of one disaccharide?

Answer 1

a disaccharide is "a carbohydrate containing two monosaccharide units joined by a glycosidic bond"

a monosaccharide is a carbon that has the C=O or HC=O group on it with steriocenters and OH groups... Confusing... but the formula is Cn H2n On where n is the number that represents how many.

So basically you have two molecules, (usually heterocyclic carbon rings. that instead of 6 carbons you have 5 carbons with a oxygen.) bonded together with a oxygen.

examples of these are maltose, lactose, and sucrose (type it in on Google to see the structure)

hope it helps, and that i didn't confuse you too much.

Answer 2

No it is a mixture, but it does contain lactose which is a disaccharide.

Answer 3

Lactose of course! People who cannot properly break down this sugar usually refrain from drinking milk or consuming any dairy product. We call those people lactose intolerant.

Answer 4

maltose
