∙ 11y agoMonosaccharides are the smallest kinds of sugar, also called a simple sugar (e.g. glucose).
When two simple sugar molecules join together they form a complex sugar called disaccharides (e.g. sucrose or maltose). If many simple sugars join together, a large molecule is formed called a polysaccharide (e.g. starch or glycogen).

Are glucose and fructose both monosaccharides?
Maltose and sucrose are examples of disaccharides. Glucose, galactose, and fructose are all examples of monosaccharides.
Why do disaccharides produce more co2 than monosaccharides?
because there are more number of carbon in a disaccharide
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.
What are elements of a disaccharide?
Disaccharides are two monosaccharides linked together. For example the disaccharide Sucrose is made up of the two monosaccharides Glucose and Fructose chemically linked together
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.
Does Benedict test indicate monosaccharides polysaccharides and disaccharides?
The Benedict test is useful for monosaccharides and disaccharides.
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.
What is the function is disaccharides?

What three terms are related disaccharides monosaccharides peptides polysaccharides?
Monosaccharides are single sugar molecules. Disaccharides are two sugar molecules joined together. Polysaccharides are saccharide polymers (chains of monosaccharides).
Which organic compound includdes monosaccharides and disaccharides?
Carbohydrate
What builds blocks of carbohydrates?
Monosaccharides,Disaccharides or polysaccharides
Disaccharides are synthesized from monosaccharides by what classification of reaction?
condensation
What do monosaccharides combine to make?
Monosaccharides combine through the process of dehydration synthesis to make disaccharides.
What include monosaccharides disaccharides and polysaccharides lipids or carbohydrates?
lipids
In what three forms do carbohydrates exist?
Monosaccharides Disaccharides Polysaccharides
How are the disaccharides and monosaccharides releated?
A disaccharide is composed of two monosaccharides attached by either an alpha or beta glcosidic bond.
How are monosaccharides converted into polysaccharides?
The process of dehydration synthesis bonds monosaccharides together to form disaccharides and polysaccharides.
