Because, lactase breaks beta(1-4) glycosidic bonds between a galactose and a glucose, while sucrose molecule is formed by a dimer of a glucose and a fructose linked by an alpha(1-2) glycosidic bond.

Why did the enzyme react to lactose but not to sucrose?

the enzyme is not the right shape for sucrose


What is difference between lactic acid and lactose?

If we are talking about distinguishing between the two solutions then, Carry out a Benedict's test on both solutions; Results: Lactose solution would give a brick-red/brown precipitate (positive test) Sucrose solution would give negative test result while sucrose is a non-reducing sugar which does not react with Benedict's reagent.


What are two different ways by which hydrolysis can be brought about?

With the use of an enzyme, such as sucrase or lactase, which will break the glycosidic bonds in a polysaccheride chain.


Which of the disaccharide will not react with benedict's solution?

Sucrose will not react with Benedict's solution. This is because sucrose is a non-reducing sugar, meaning it does not have a free aldehyde or ketone group that can be oxidized by Benedict's reagent.


What sugar might be present in a sweet tasting food that tests negative with the Benedicts reagent?

Sucrose. Sucrose is a disaccharide therefore does not have free electrons in the sugar to react with the Benedict reagent. Glucose has free electrons therefore shows positive with the Benedict reagent.


What are the names of two non-reducing sugars?

Two examples of non-reducing sugars are sucrose and trehalose. These sugars do not have a free anomeric carbon that can undergo mutarotation and therefore do not react with Benedict's or Fehling's solution.


How does iodine react with disaccharides?

Iodine can form a complex with starch molecules in a reaction called the iodine test, where the starch-iodine complex turns blue-black in color. Disaccharides, such as sucrose and lactose, do not typically react with iodine in the same way as starch due to their different chemical structures.


What carbohydrate does not react with Iodine or Benedict's solution?

Sucrose


What does galactose and fructose make?

Galactose and fructose can combine to form lactulose through a chemical reaction known as the Maillard reaction. This reaction occurs when reducing sugars such as galactose and fructose react with amino acids under heat, creating a browning effect and producing compounds with sweet tastes and potential health benefits.
