What sugars contain two sugar units?
Disaccharides
What is the role of hydrolysis in the relationships between monosaccharides disaccharides and polyssacharides?
Hydrolysis involes splitting a molecule into smaller fragments with the addition of water. During the process, -H and -OH are added to these smaller fragments. The disaccharides (i.e. two sugars) are split into two monosaccharides (i.e. single sugars). The polysaccharides (i.e. multiple sugars) are spilt into disaccharides. This process of hydrolysis depends on enzyme control in organisms.
A collective term used to refer to all monosaccharide and disaccharide?
carbohydrates. this term refers to simple and complex sugars such as monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. this term also refers to starches.
What are simple sugars known as?
They are sugars that the body can use directly, unlike complex sugars which the body has to first break down. Glucose is an example.
What ends of sugars are removed when sugar molecules join to form either disaccharides or polysaccharides and what do they form?
The ends of sugar removed when sugar molecules join to form disaccharides or polysaccharides are the -H and -OH sides. These ends then form H20 when combined.
Two sugars are called...?
Disaccharides.
What is the function is 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?
Glucose, fructose, and galactose make up disaccharides.
What sugars contain two sugar units?
Disaccharides
What do we call it when many sugars join together?
disaccharides
What are two simple sugars connected call?
Two sugars connected together are called disaccharides.
Are amino acids monomers of disaccharides?
No, amino acids are the monomers of proteins. The monomers of disaccharides are simple sugars.
What are some examples of disaccharides?
Disaccharides are sugars whose molecules contain two monosaccharide molecules.
Are all disaccharides reducing sugars?
Yes Dextrose is a reducinf sugar.
Examples of disaccharides?
The two main categories of sugars are monosaccharides and disaccharides. Three common disaccharides are sucrose, maltose and lactose.
What are the names of two non-reducing sugars?
The disaccharides Sucrose and Trehalose are both non-reducing sugars.
