glucose
Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides made by plants. Glucose is a simple aldose, fructose is a ketose.
Plants make different sugars including sucrose, dextrose and fructose.
monosaccharides
Disaccharide
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.
Two Monosaccharides
Monosaccharides can combine to form disaccharides (two monosaccharides linked together), oligosaccharides (short chains of monosaccharides), and polysaccharides (long chains of monosaccharides). These molecules are types of carbohydrates that serve as energy sources in living organisms.
The 2 mono saccharides that make up lactose are glucose and galactose. Glucose is basically sugar in its most basic form. It is made by plants through photosynthesis.
Mono = one Di = two That simple.
Maltose is made up of two glucose molecules.
Two monosaccharides are needed to form one maltose molecule. Specifically, maltose is comprised of two glucose molecules joined together through a condensation reaction, which releases a molecule of water.
Monosaccharides are single sugar molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. They have a basic chemical formula of (CH2O)n, where n can vary depending on the specific monosaccharide. Examples include glucose, fructose, and galactose.
