What is the function of maltose?
A disaccharide carbohydrate, maltose can be easily hydrolised into 2 glucose molecules. (In humans, such a hydrolysis is accomplished by the enzyme maltase) As such, it is a rather efficient, energy-yielding molecule. (Glucose, as we all know, is a ubiquitous energy-providing molecule)
What bond is broken when maltose is converted to glucose?
A glycosidic bond
How are sucrose lactose and maltose the same?
sucrose is the standard sweetness, a table sugar, glucose + fructose. lactose is the least sweet of all sugars, galactose + glucose. lastly, maltose is the sugar found in beers, glucose + glucose.
What are the uses of maltose?
Maltase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose to glucose. Examples of this include cooked sweet potatoes, and molasses.
What are some examples of monosaccharides?
Maltose, glucose, fructose, sucrose, and galactose are all examples of monosaccharides. Circle A, C, and D on the Section 2-3 Carbon Compounds worksheet. (:
What are the five sugars in carbohydrates?
glucose, galactose. maltose, fructose and sucrose.
What are the six more important sugars in nutrition?
glucose, fructose, maltose, galactose, lactose, sucrose
What names ending in disaccharides and monosaccharides?
ending in -ose examples: glucose, sucrose, galactose, maltose, fructose
What is a disaccharide an example of?
Surcose which is a micture of (Glucose + fructose) Lactose..................................(Glucose + galactose) Maltose..................................(Glucose + glucose)
What makes maltose?
is a disaccharide formed from two units of glucose. Maltose can be broken down into two glucose molecules by hydrolysis.what are some properties of maltose?Maltose is a malt sugar. The molecular formula for maltose is C12H22O11.

What are the simplest carbohydates called?
Glucose, fructose and galactose, they are known as monosaccharides and are the only carbohydrates that can be absorbed into the bloodstream through the lining of your intestines. Lactose, sucrose and maltose are disaccharides (they contain two monosaccharides) and are easily converted to their monosaccharide bases in the digestive tract.:):):):)
What bond is broken when maltose is converted to glucose?
A glycosidic bond
Which of these sugars are made by humans glucose fructose mannose starch vitamin c sucrose maltose lactose galactose?
Lactose and glactose
What are examples of monosaccharide?
Glucose and Fructose are examples of monosaccharides.
Would you be able to distiguish maltose from lactose in a unknown sample from doing barfoed's test?
Both maltose aswell as lactose are disaccharides, where maltose is made up of two glucose units, whereas lactose is made up of 1 unit of glucose and 1 unit of galactose. Barfoed's test answers only for mono and disaccharides. Presence of red precipitate would indicate a positive result for monosaccharides. Thus doing Barfoed's test does not distinguish between maltose and galactose since both are disaccharides.
What is monosaccharide of maltose?
Lactose, or milk sugar, is a disaccharide composed by a galactose and a glucose linked by an alfa 1 - 4 bond. Its biochemical name is O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 - 4)-D-glucopyranose.
