As you look at the structural formula of Trehalose, look to the left side of it. Depending how it's drawn convert just that side to a Haworth projection to make it easier. Then turn that into a monosacharide.

A monosaccharide has a C=O or HC=O right? "can't be hydrolized to a simpler compound" but i like to think of easier terms. Cn H2n On is the basic formula.

once you have your haworth projection drawn take of the OH on Carbon number 1 to turn it to a monosaccharide. and draw it out in the Fischer projection.

Then pull out your handy dandy table (should be in your book) on the names of them. and if you match the picture correctly you should get GLUCOSE

now the second one. Repeat the steps.

now the second one is upside down which is a bit tricky, but you can see that it is also GLUCOSE

THE FINAL ANSWER: Trehalose conists of 2 glucose monosaccharide units.

What is structure of trehalose?

Trehalose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules linked in an α,α-1,1-glycosidic bond. This structure gives trehalose its unique properties, such as its ability to stabilize proteins and protect cells from dehydration.

Trehalose in cosmetic preparation?

Trehalose is a sugar which is found actually in cactus plants. It is this sugar which protects cactus from drying in deserts and retaining water as trehalose has a property of retaining water. This ingredient is used in cosmetics preparation for dry skin. Trehalose protects dry skin and retains moisture of the skin.


What two monosaccharides can form a bond?

Two monosaccharides that can form a bond are glucose and fructose, which can form a disaccharide called sucrose.


What is the relationship between monosaccharides and disaccharides?

Monosaccharides are single sugar molecules, while disaccharides are made up of two monosaccharides joined together. Disaccharides are formed through a dehydration reaction, where a water molecule is removed to bond the two monosaccharides together.

What is removed from the two monosaccharides to form the disaccharide?

A water molecule is removed from two monosaccharides to form a disaccharide through a condensation reaction. This process joins the two monosaccharides together by forming a glycosidic bond between them.


What are the names of two non-reducing sugars?

Two examples of non-reducing sugars are sucrose and trehalose. These sugars do not have a free anomeric carbon that can undergo mutarotation and therefore do not react with Benedict's or Fehling's solution.


What is the reaction that links two monosaccharides together?

The reaction that links two monosaccharides together is a condensation reaction, where a molecule of water is removed to form a glycosidic bond between the two monosaccharides. This process is catalyzed by enzymes known as glycosyltransferases.
