What results from the hydrolysis of sucrose by the enzyme sucrase?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
Sucrose in a disaccharide composed of one glucose and one fructose molecule. Upon hydrolysis the disaccharide is broken up into its constituent monosaccharaides, with a resulting loss of one molecule of water for each molecule of sucrose hydrolyzed.

∙ 11y agoThe sucrose molecule undergoes hydrolysis, in which a water molecule is added in such a way as to add an H atom to one monosaccharide, and an OH group to the other monosaccharide. This results in two separate monosaccharides, glucose and fructose, which can then be used in cellular respiration.

What does sucrase breakdown?
Sucrose is not an enzyme it is a disaccharide sugar made from one glucose and one fructose. Sucrase, on the other hand, is an enzyme that digests sucrose into one glucose and one fructose molecules. Hope that helps.
Are catalyse Maltese and sucrose enzymes?
All enzymes end in -ase. Their substrate is the base for the enzyme. For example: the sugar maltose is acted on by the enzyme maltase. Sucrose, by sucrase.
What does it mean when it says enzymes are specific?
Enzymes are highly specific in their action. For example, enzyme maltase acts on sugar maltose and not on lactose or sucrose. Different enzymes may act on the same substrate but give rise to different products. For example, raffinose gives rise to melibiose and fructose in the presnce of enzyme sucrase while in the presence of enzyme melibiase it produces lactose and sucrose. Similarly an enzyme may act on different substrates like sucrase can act on both sucrose and raffinose producing different end products.
What enzyme changes glucose to frutose?
The enzyme that breaks down sucrose to glucose and fructose is called sucrase.
What are the names of some enzymes?
Hydrolases - Hydrolysis of a substrate - digestive enzyme isomerases - change of the molecular form of the substrate - famerase
Sucrase is an enzyme that breaks sucrose down into glucose and fructose what happens to the chemical bonds in sucrose when it binds to the enzyme sucrase?
Hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond results. Sucrose is reduced to glucose and fructose.
What is the main purpose of a sucrase?
Sucrase is an enzyme which catalyze the hydrolysis of sucrose to fructose and glucose.
What monosaccharides are formed upon hydrolysis what sucrose?
The hydrolysis of sucrose by the enzyme sucrase results in breaking the bond between glucose and fructose and forming new bonds from the atoms of water.
The hydroloysis of sucrose by the enzyme sucrase results in?
Glucose and Fructose
What results from the action of sucrase on sucrose?
A molecule of common table sugar, sucrose, can be hydrolyzed into its two main molecular components by the enzymatic action of sucrase. Following hydrolysis, the resulting fragments are fructose and glucose.
Monosaccharides produced by hydrolysis of sucrose?
You have the enzyme called as sucrase. This enzyme is present in the brush border of the cells from intestine. This enzyme splits one molecule of sucrose into one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose. This reaction takes place during absorption.
What enzyme digests Sucrose.?
the enzyme sucrase
What does sucrase breakdown?
Sucrose is not an enzyme it is a disaccharide sugar made from one glucose and one fructose. Sucrase, on the other hand, is an enzyme that digests sucrose into one glucose and one fructose molecules. Hope that helps.
What is an enzyme that breaks down sucrose?
Sucrase.
What does sucrose yield when digested?
Sucrose is broken down into glucose and fructose by the enzyme sucrase.
If lactase breaks down lactose and galactose then the enzyme sucrase breaks down?
The enzyme sucrase breaks down sucrose. Glucose and fructose are the products of this chemical reaction.
Why is sucrose boiled with an acid instead of an alkali?
Hydrolysis breaks the glycosidic bond, converting sucrose into glucose and fructose. Hydrolysis is, however, so slow that solutions of sucrose can sit for years with negligible change. If the enzyme sucrase is added, however, the reaction will proceed rapidly. Hydrolysis can also be accelerated with acids, such as cream of tartar or lemon juice, both weak acids. Similarly gastric acidity converts sucrose to glucose and fructose during digestion.
