Generally speaking, breaking them down into monosaccharides is the first step; what happens next depends on what the individual monosaccharides are.
Depending on your species, you may not be able to do this for every disaccharide. If you can't break it down, it will probably pass through the body unchanged, unless some of your intestinal flora is able to break it down. One example of a disaccharide humans can't digest is melibiose.
It is a major source of nutrition for cells in the body
Glucose, fructose, and galactose make up disaccharides.
The Benedict test is useful for monosaccharides and disaccharides.
The two main categories of sugars are monosaccharides and disaccharides. Three common disaccharides are sucrose, maltose and lactose.
No. It is a monosaccharide.
disaccharides have more chemical bonds
The primary function of disaccharides is as a nutritional source of monosaccharides. Many of the sugars found in foodstuffs are disaccharides.

Monosaccharides are the simplest fort of carbohydrates. They serve as the building blocks of disaccharides and polysaccharides. They basically provide the body with energy.
disaccharide is the nutritional source of monosaccharides
the shape of amylase allows it to have the right shape of active site that it will combine with starch and break it down into disaccharides and monosaccharides which will provides us glucose for body to function
Disaccharides are not mixtures.
Monosaccharides,Disaccharides these are the type of carbohydrate exist in human body.
The site where digestion of disaccharides takes place is in the mouth. An example of disaccharides is lactose, maltose, and sucrose.
Salivary Glands secrete saliva. They have digestive functions: plus their 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.
Lactose and maltose are reducing disaccharides.
Glucose, fructose, and galactose make up disaccharides.
The Benedict test is useful for monosaccharides and disaccharides.
