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 one component of all disaccharides?
glucose
What sugars contain two sugar units?
Disaccharides
Are disaccharides mixtures?
Disaccharides are not mixtures.
What is the function of disaccharides?
The primary function of disaccharides is as a nutritional source of monosaccharides. Many of the sugars found in foodstuffs are disaccharides.

Which sugars make up disaccharides?

Does Benedict test indicate monosaccharides polysaccharides and disaccharides?
The Benedict test is useful for monosaccharides and disaccharides.
What are carbohydrates considered?
They are classified into monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. A monosaccharide has a carbonyl group, multiple hydroxls, can be calssified by its size of carbon skeleton, may exist as enantiomers, and is a major source of energy for cellular work. Disaccharides are formed by dehydration and poly saccharides can be considered as a storage function.
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.
Is disaccharides hydrophobic?
no it is a hydrophyllic
Is mannose a disaccharides?
No. It is a monosaccharide.
