Yes, sucrose and maltose are structural isomers because they have the same simple molecular formula which is C12H22O11. This is the formula for a disaccharide, which is two monosaccharides combined together through dehydration synthesis which causes the disaccharide to lose two hydrogens and an oxygen atom, which is why the formula is C12H22O11 instead of C12H24O12.

3 common disaccharides?
Maltose,sucrose and lactose
How does the molecular formula for sucrose compare to maltose?
Both sucrose and maltose have the same molecular formula, C12H22O11. What makes them different, however, is the structure these atoms take in the molecule.
Are catalyse Maltese and sucrose enzymes?
All enzymes end in -ase. Their substrate is the base for the enzyme. For example: the sugar maltose is acted on by the enzyme maltase. Sucrose, by sucrase.
What are three examples of disaccharides?
Lactose,sucrose,maltose etc.. (they built up of two sugar units)
What are the three common simple sugars in your diet?
The three most common monosaccharides in one's diet are most likely glucose (both the alpha and beta isomers), galactose, and fructose. These sugars make up three common diasaccharides: Maltose, Lactose and Sucrose Maltose (malt sugar) is made from 2 alpha glucoses (linked via an alpha glycosidic bond) Lactose (milk sugar) is made from galactose and beta glucose (linked via a beta glycosidic bond) Sucrose (table sugar) is made from alpha glucose and fructose (linked via an alpha glycosidic bond.)
Do the molecules fit easily together form maltose?
Yes, they do. Glucose and Fructose go through a condensation reaction to make sucrose (since H2O is taken out of the equation). Fructose and sucrose are isomers.
Examples of disaccharides?
The two main categories of sugars are monosaccharides and disaccharides. Three common disaccharides are sucrose, maltose and lactose.
How does the molecular formula of lactose compare to maltose and sucrose?
The chemical formula for both sucrose and maltose is C12H22O11, therefore the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2H:1O.
How does the chemical formula for maltose compare to scurose?
maltose and sucrose, both have the same molecular formula, C12H22O11. maltose is formed from two glucose units sucrose is formed from one glucose and one fructose units
Which can not be digested Sucrose maltose cellulose or fructose?
cellulose
What are the emperical formulas for maltose sucrose and lactose?
C12h22o11
What is a food example of disaccharide?
Sucrose, Lactose, Maltose
Which is the largest sucrose glucose glycogen and maltose?
celluloste
Which monosaccharide is found in sucrose lactose and maltose?
Glucose
3 common disaccharides?
Maltose,sucrose and lactose
What prefix is used for isomers?
Isomers do not have prefix. See any prefix in glucose,galactose,or sucrose?(these three simple sugars are Isomers)
What is the name of some of the disaccharides?
Maltose, cellobiose, sucrose, lactose...
