Sucrose
The hydrolysis of sucrose by the enzyme sucrase results in breaking the bond between glucose and fructose and forming new bonds from the atoms of water.
glucose (the principal sugar found in blood, a hexose), and fructose (the principal sugar found in fruit, a pentose). Both of these monosaccharides have 6 carbons each, and an Oxygen atom in the ring.
Seliwanoff's test is specific for detecting ketoses, such as fructose. Upon long heating, fructose in the presence of concentrated acid will dehydrate to form furfural derivatives, giving a red color. Glucose, a aldose sugar, does not undergo this reaction and will not give a color with Seliwanoff's test.
576 glucose molecules would be produced upon total hydrolysis of the polysaccharide. Each glucose molecule represents one unit of the polysaccharide chain, so when it is broken down, each unit is released as a glucose molecule.
When maltase acts upon a molecule of maltose, it catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose into two glucose molecules. This reaction breaks the glycosidic bond between the glucose units in maltose, allowing for the release of the individual glucose molecules.
Sucrose is the disaccharide that, upon hydrolysis by the enzyme sucrase, yields glucose and fructose.
The hydrolysis of sucrose by the enzyme sucrase results in breaking the bond between glucose and fructose and forming new bonds from the atoms of water.
Sucrose in a disaccharide composed of one glucose and one fructose molecule. Upon hydrolysis the disaccharide is broken up into its constituent monosaccharaides, with a resulting loss of one molecule of water for each molecule of sucrose hydrolyzed.

Lactose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose. Upon hydrolysis, lactose breaks down into its component monosaccharides, glucose, and galactose. This process is catalyzed by the enzyme lactase.
576 glucose molecules would be produced upon total hydrolysis of the polysaccharide. Each glucose molecule represents one unit of the polysaccharide chain, so when it is broken down, each unit is released as a glucose molecule.
When maltase acts upon a molecule of maltose, it catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose into two glucose molecules. This reaction breaks the glycosidic bond between the glucose units in maltose, allowing for the release of the individual glucose molecules.
Maltase breaks down maltose into two molecules of glucose through hydrolysis. This process involves the cleavage of the glycosidic bond between the two glucose molecules in maltose.
that the amide is a deprotonated form of ammonia.
Inverted sugar is sweeter than sugar because upon splitting the sucrose molecules into 2 molecules, one of fructose and one of glucose, the concentration of sugar molecules doubles (i.e. 1 pound of sucrose -> 1 pound glucose + 1 pound frucose = 2 pounds sugars).
Fructose can yield two products upon reduction because it has both a ketone and an aldehyde functional group. When reduced, fructose can transform into two different isomers: D-fructose can be reduced to D-glucose (an aldehyde) or D-sorbitol (an alcohol). The presence of the ketone group allows for the formation of different products depending on the specific conditions and reagents used in the reduction process. This duality in product formation is a result of the structural flexibility of the fructose molecule.
