Disaccharides are formed by a dehydration reaction (condensation) between two monosaccharides, resulting in the formation of a glycosidic bond. This process involves the removal of a water molecule to join the two monosaccharides together. Common examples of disaccharides include sucrose, lactose, and maltose.

How many disaccharides are theoretically possible starting from D- glucose in the pyranose form?

There are theoretically 16 disaccharides that can be formed from two D-glucose molecules in the pyranose form. This is because there are four chiral carbons in each glucose molecule, and the stereochemistry at each carbon can be differentially linked to form different disaccharides.

What ends of sugars are removed when sugar molecules join to form either disaccharides or polysaccharides and what do they form?

The ends of sugars that are removed when sugar molecules join to form disaccharides or polysaccharides are hydroxyl (OH) groups. These hydroxyl groups are removed in a condensation reaction, forming a glycosidic bond between the sugar molecules.

What are monosaccharides and disaccharides?

Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates, consisting of single sugar molecules such as glucose and fructose. Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides are linked together by a glycosidic bond, like sucrose (glucose + fructose) and lactose (glucose + galactose).
