Polysaccharides are much larger molecules.
All disaccharides break into 2 monosaccharides. 'Mono' meaning one and 'Di' meaning two. Anything with more than two combined monosaccharides would be a polysaccaride.
Kelly was never able to stay home by herself because of her monophobia.
Yes, monosaccharides can undergo hydrolysis. This process involves breaking the glycosidic bond between monosaccharide units, resulting in the breakdown of the monosaccharide molecule into its component sugar units.
When two monosaccharides combine to form a disaccharide, a molecule of water is also produced. This process is known as a condensation reaction, where a hydroxyl group (OH) from one sugar molecule and a hydrogen atom (H) from the other sugar molecule come together to form a water molecule.
mono means at the same time. not how many. mono hull in boat terms means one
mono
Give two characteristics of each mono saccharides and polysaccharides.
Yes they can be found. They are very common
glucose (dextrose),fructose (levulose),galactosexyloseribose
galactose and fructose
The building block of a carbohydrate is mono saccharides.
Function and structure
disaccharide
Mono(single)-saccharides are single sugar units. with glucose and fructose being two examples of mono-saccharides. All carbohydrates are made up of linked mono-saccharides. and it is the type quantity and the way that they are linked which defines the type of carbohydrate and how your body reacts to it.
A condensation reaction (aka dehydration synthesis).
They are formed by repeating units of mono- or di-saccharides, joined together by glycosidic bonds.
For instant energy, athletes use glucose which is a mono-saccharides unit of Carbohydrate
