Do all 3 disaccharides act as reducing agents?
Lactose and maltose are reducing disaccharides.
What enzymes are needed to breakdown disaccharides?
The enzymes lactase, maltase, and isomaltase (or sucrase) are needed to break down the disaccharides.
Does isomerism exist in disaccharides?
Yes
What is an example of disaccharide?
Disaccharides are a type of sugar that are formed when two monosaccharides bond together. e.g. sucrose (table sugar) is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose. Maltose is a disaccharide of two glucose molecules.
What is one component of all disaccharides?
glucose
What include monosaccharides disaccharides and polysaccharides lipids or carbohydrates?
lipids
Are disaccharides mixtures?
Disaccharides are not mixtures.
What are examples of monosaccharide?
Glucose and Fructose are examples of monosaccharides.
What is the function is disaccharides?
The primary function of disaccharides is as a nutritional source of monosaccharides. Many of the sugars found in foodstuffs are disaccharides.

Site where digestion of disaccharides takes place?
The site where digestion of disaccharides takes place is in the mouth. An example of disaccharides is lactose, maltose, and sucrose.
What are salivary gland?
Salivary Glands secrete saliva. They have digestive functions: plus they product binds food together,and begins digestion of carbohydrates. They also include a mild antibiotic. They make the enzyme salivary amylase which breaks polysaccharides into disaccharides and starch into disaccharides.
Do all 3 disaccharides act as reducing agents?
Lactose and maltose are reducing disaccharides.
Which sugars make up disaccharides?
Glucose, fructose, and galactose make up disaccharides.
Does Benedict test indicate monosaccharides polysaccharides and disaccharides?
The Benedict test is useful for monosaccharides and disaccharides.
Where are disaccharides found?
Disaccharides are found in most foods from pasta sauce to baked goods. When sugars or carbohydrates link with two monosaccharaides, it will create disaccharides.
Examples of disaccharides?
The two main categories of sugars are monosaccharides and disaccharides. Three common disaccharides are sucrose, maltose and lactose.
