Glucose and Galactose.
Sugars like fructose and lactose are classified as carbohydrates, specifically as simple sugars or monosaccharides (fructose) and disaccharides (lactose).
Monosaccharides combine to make disaccharides or polysaccharides through a dehydration synthesis reaction, where a water molecule is released. Examples of disaccharides include sucrose (glucose + fructose) and lactose (glucose + galactose). Examples of polysaccharides include starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
Lactase catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose, a disaccharide found in milk, into its constituent monosaccharides, glucose and galactose. This enzymatic reaction allows for the digestion and absorption of lactose in the small intestine.
The combination of glucose and galactose forms lactose, which is a disaccharide commonly found in milk. Lactose is broken down by the enzyme lactase into its constituent monosaccharides during digestion.
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
lactose
Glucose and Galactose make up lactose Glucose and fructose make up sucrose Glucose and glucose make maltose
The 2 mono saccharides that make up lactose are glucose and galactose. Glucose is basically sugar in its most basic form. It is made by plants through photosynthesis.
Glucose and Galactose.
yes, because it's made up of glucose and galactose. These 2 sugars are monosaccharides that have an aldehyde at their C1 end in their linear form, thus they're both aldoses. Therefore lactose is an aldose. Lactose is also a reducing sugar, and both glucose and galactose that make up lactose are hexoses (6-membered sugar rings).
starches and monosaccharides are carbohydrates, and monosaccharides make up starches, which is a polysaccharide.
The general formula of monosaccharides is C6H12O6.
Lactose is a disaccharide composed of two monosaccharides, glucose and galactose, linked together.
Sugars like fructose and lactose are classified as carbohydrates, specifically as simple sugars or monosaccharides (fructose) and disaccharides (lactose).
The subunits that make up polysaccharides are sugars, or monosaccharides. An example of a monosaccharide is glucose, which we need for energy.
monosaccharides
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.
