When sucrose is digested what is formed?

When sucrose is digested, it is broken down into its two constituent monosaccharides: glucose and fructose. These monosaccharides can then be absorbed into the bloodstream and used for energy production in the body.

Well water is not digested but i actually have no idea what I'm saying so forget this answer :)


Is glucose or sucrose more easily digested by humans?

Glucose is more easily digested by humans because it is a simple sugar that can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream without needing to be broken down further. Sucrose, on the other hand, is a disaccharide that needs to be broken down into its individual glucose and fructose components before it can be absorbed.


What products do you gain when you split a disaccharide?

When you split a disaccharide, such as sucrose or lactose, you will gain two monosaccharides as products. For example, splitting sucrose will yield glucose and fructose, while splitting lactose will yield glucose and galactose.


Which of the following cannot be digested by humans-sucrose maltose cellulose or fructose?

Cellulose cannot be digested by humans.Cellulosecellulosehumans cannot digest cellulosecelluloseCelluloseCellulose (aka Fiber) can not be digested by humans because, we don't have the bacteria needed to break down cellulose. Sucrose, Maltose, and Fructose are all disaccharides (carbohydrates/sugars) and are all able to be broken down to glucose in the body.


What does maltose yield when digested?

How many ATP yield from 1 sucrose?

One molecule of sucrose can be broken down into glucose and fructose, both of which can then enter glycolysis to produce ATP. Overall, the breakdown of 1 molecule of sucrose yields about 30-32 ATP.


What happens to the carbohydrates after the food is digested?

Mainly carbohydrates like starch,sucrose are broken down to glucose to use in respiration.


Does carbon and sucrose share the same properties?

Carbon is an element. Sucrose, a sugar, is a compound ( a combination of elements ). Sucrose is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Pure carbon is found in two forms, graphite (pencil lead) and diamond. Carbon and sucrose are very different in properties except for the fact that both can be burned in the presence of oxygen to yield CO2 (and water in the case of sucrose).
