What is the chemical formula of a trisaccharide made of three bonded glucose molecules?
Each glucose molecule has the chemical formula C6H12O6. When three glucose molecules bond, they lose two molecules of water. The chemical formula of a trisaccharide made of three bonded glucose molecules is C18H32O16.
How many simple sugars are joined together in a trisaccharide?
Three. Trisaccharide means three sugars. Disaccharide is two, monosaccharide is one.
Is raffinose capable of mutarotation?
No, raffinose is not capable of mutarotation. It is a trisaccharide consisting of galactose, glucose and fructose monomers connected by glycosidic bonds. The glycosidic bonds lock the three rings in their cyclic forms making it so that mutarotation will not be possible.
Is glucose an example of a monosaccharide that is used to build polysaccharides?
Yes and a very important biological one it is. The glucose sugar monomers may be chemically bonded to form chains in two ways. One way forms cellulose - in plants - and the other way forms glycogen in animals. Two monosaccharides form a disaccharide, three form a trisaccharide.
Why amylase breaks down starch into maltose instead of glucose directly?
Remember that digestion of starch, the most common carbohydrate in the human diet, begins with the secretion of alpha-amylase from salivary glands in the mouth. Salivary alpha-amylase breaks all the alpha(1-4) glucosidic bonds of starch except those next to branches or its outermost bonds. However, by the time the chewed food reaches the stomach, the acidic conditions into it inactivate the salivary alpha-amylase. In that time, the average lenght of starch has been reduced from several thousands to only eight glucose units. It will be until the food continues in the small intestine when the starch remnants continue it digestion. Then, pancreatic alpha-amylase continues the hydrolisis to produce a mixture of: a) the disaccharide maltose (glucopyranosyl alpha(1-4) glucopyranoside, or alpha-amylose unit); b) the trisaccharide maltotriose (three glucose residues linked with alpha(1-4) bonds; and c) dextrins (oligosaccharides containing alpha(1-6) branches. Finally, specifc enzymes (e.g., alpha-glucosidase, alpha-dextrinase or debranching enzyme, sucrase, and, in infants, lactase), in the brush border membranes of the intestinal mucosa, will finish to break the remnant bonds to hydrolize the oligosaccharides and produce their component monosaccharides.From this point of view, only pancreatic alpha-amylase produces maltose units during the time the food is in the small intestine. The final hydrolisis, where monosaccharides are produced, takes place in the intestinal mucosa.
Is trisaccharide and C3 sugar the same?
No, a C3 sugar is a sugar containing 3 carbons. A trisaccharide is composed of 3 monosaccharide sugars.
What is the Name of trisaccharide found in asparagus?
You are probably referring to raffinose - a trisaccharide found in many fibrous vegetables. You can find more information online at: http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Raffinose

How many simple sugars are joined together in a trisaccharide?
Three. Trisaccharide means three sugars. Disaccharide is two, monosaccharide is one.
How do the prefixes of the -saccharide words relate to the structure of the sugar?
Scientists also use the word saccharide to describe sugars. If there is only one sugar molecule, it is called a monosaccharide. If there are two, it is a disaccharide. If there are three, it is a trisaccharide. You get the idea.

What are the three monosaccharides in raffinose?
Raffinose is the trisaccharide of fructose, galactose and glucose. Its actual name is: beta-D-fructofuranosyl-O-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-6)-alpha-D-glucopyranoside.
