The word monosacharides can be broken down into 2 parts mono meaning one and sacharide meaning sugar thus saying that monosacharides have a compound structure that consists of one sugar
Never mind, Disaccharides have more chemical bonds.
This process is called hydrolysis, where water molecules are used to break down the bonds between the individual sugar units in polysaccharides, resulting in the formation of monosaccharides.
In table sugar (C12H22O11) there are 22 hydrogens in this disacharide. In monosacharides ther are normally 12 H's (C6H12O6)
Polysaccharides are formed from monosacharides (simple carbohydrates).
If a polysaccharide is heated in a strong acid medium, the covalent glycosid bonds break through hydrolysis, creating disaccharides. Later on the reaction continues with the disaccharides, ending the reaction with nothing but monosacharides (Glucose, fructose etc.)
Monosacharides
Glucose, Galactose and Fructose
Monosacharides (simple sugars) are converted into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) aka energy.
Monosacharides are one sugar molecule. Glucose Disacharides are two monosacharides bound checmical -- Sucrose = Dextrose + Glucose Polysacharides are multiple single sugars bound into a more complex molecule.
lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and glucose monomers.
Never mind, Disaccharides have more chemical bonds.
monosacharides are a simple carbohydrate, basically sugar. so it is one hydrophilic molecule, unlike polysachaides that have other sugars attached, which makes it less complicated to dissolve. and with the 2 to 1 ratio of H to O, it essentially already has water in it, making it easy for water to attach to the individual molecules.
Well, there are over 100 elements and most of them are not found in monosacharides. The ones that are are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Glucose and fructose are two examples of monosaccharides. They are simple sugars that consist of a single sugar unit and are the basic building blocks of carbohydrates.
both glucose and fructose are monosacharides, so you can add someting to a mono... to make another one. although, if you add them together, you get sucorse
If two monosacharides are together, this then means it is classified as a disacharide. However, if it has many more than just two monosacharides 'joined together', then that means it is classified as a polysacheride. Fat cell structures are commonly known as triglycerides, and they consist of fatty acid chains and glycerol.
This process is called hydrolysis, where water molecules are used to break down the bonds between the individual sugar units in polysaccharides, resulting in the formation of monosaccharides.
