When two monosaccharides combine what forms?
A disaccharide
Examples of disaccharides?
The two main categories of sugars are monosaccharides and disaccharides. Three common disaccharides are sucrose, maltose and lactose.
How does a monosaccharide differ from disaccharide?
Mono = one Di = two That simple.
Is lactose a polysaccharide?
No, lactose is a disaccharide. In Greek, poly means many, and di means two. Lactose is composed of two molecules: galactose and glucose, both of which are monosaccharides (mono means one in Greek).
What two monosaccharides are formed when the lactase enzyme hydrolyzes lactose?
glucose and galactose http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/C/Carbohydrates.html
What monosaccharides are in milk?
lactose
What forms when two monosaccharides link together?
When two monosaccharides link together by Glycosidic bond (type of covalent bond formed by sugar molecule with others) they form a disaccharide. Example of disaccharides: Sucrose - glucose + Fructose Lactose - Galasctose + Glucose
When two monosaccharides combine what forms?
A disaccharide
Examples of disaccharides?
The two main categories of sugars are monosaccharides and disaccharides. Three common disaccharides are sucrose, maltose and lactose.
What are the elements in lactose?
Lactose, or milk sugar, is a disaccharide. This means that it consists of two sugar molecules. The molecules in lactose are galactose and glucose, both of which are monosaccharides.Both monosaccharides and disaccharides are considered simple sugars, or simple carbohydrates.
Why doesnt the lactase in lactose intolerant people work?
Lactose intolerant people have a deficiency of an enzyme called lactase, which breaks up the lactose into two monosaccharides called galactose and glucose. These two are easily digestable, whereas lactose is not.
Why is the main carbohydrate in milk not classified as a monosaccharide?
The main carbohydrate in milk is lactose. It is a disaccharide meaning it is composed of two monosaccharides.
Name two disaccharides and list the monosaccharides that comprise them.?
Lactose is comprised of glucose and galactose. Sucrose is comprised of glucose and fructose.
What chemical reaction does lactase catalyze?
Acetal formation (glycosidic linkage) between glucose and galactose by condensation reaction.It can also be seen as dimerisation of two monosaccharides (Glu + Gal) to one disaccharide(Lactose is: β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucose)
Is lactase a monomer or polymer?
Lactase is an enzyme.Lactose is a disachcharide made up of glucose and galactose.
How does a monosaccharide differ from disaccharide?
Mono = one Di = two That simple.
What monosaccharides make up lactose?
Glucose and Galactose.
