What monomer makes up carbohydrate?

The monomers of the "sugars" are monosaccharides. Two of them together create a disaccharide, while more than two create a polysaccharide. Examples of monosaccharides include fructose, glucose, and galactose.


What is the relationship between the number of hydrogen atom and number of oxygen atom in disaccharide?

As far as I understand, there is no direct correlation between the number of hydrogens and the number of oxygens in a disaccharide. This is because monosaccharides (which form disaccharides) can be very different from one an other. Monosaccharides may be either an aldose or a ketose. These have different heads (aldehyde and ketone) with different numbers of both oxygens and hydrogens. Monosaccharides can also vary in length, which adds to the diversity of oxygen and hydrogen count. So disaccharides can be composed of two aldoses, two ketose, or one of each. Not to mention the possibility of sugar alcohols, sugar esters, deoxy sugars, or other derivatives. All these dynamics makes defining a distinct and simple relationship between H and O atom counts very challenging, if not impossible.


What is in milk that makes it a good culture medium for production of yogurt?

Lactose


What makes up monosaccharides?

I believe maltose is made up of two glucose molecules.


How does gene regulation of the lac operon promote homeostasis in intestinal E coli bacteria?

Lactose metabolizing enzymes need not be made when lactose is not present.This means when glucose is present, the cell does not waste energy/resources on creating these enzymes.

Why does milk not taste sweet?

Lactose, which is a disaccharide (sugar) makes up between 2% and 8% of milk by weight. In digestion, it is broken down into glucose and galactose (monosaccharides). But lactose does not have the sweet taste associated with most sugars.

What is responsible for the sweet taste of milk?

Lactose, which is a disaccharide (sugar) makes up between 2% and 8% of milk by weight. In digestion, it is broken down into glucose and galactose (monosaccharides). Lactose, also called milk sugar, provides some sweetness, but its really a very bland sugar. Most of the sweetness is actually due to the fat/cream.


When glucose and galactose join together it becomes?

It becomes milk sugar or more commonly known as lactose. One glucose monomer and one galactose monomer makes the disaccharide lactose.
