Do all 3 disaccharides act as reducing agents?
Lactose and maltose are reducing disaccharides.
Which sugars make up disaccharides?

Does Benedict test indicate monosaccharides polysaccharides and disaccharides?
The Benedict test is useful for monosaccharides and disaccharides.
What would happen if the body absorbed full sized polysaccharides or proteins?
Well it wouldn't... Your body breaks them down into smaller mono and disaccharides, same goes for proteins, it would be single amino acids or di- & tripeptides.
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.
