Best Answer

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.
