What else can I help you with?
Is lactose hydrophilic?
Yes, lactose is considered hydrophilic. As a disaccharide sugar composed of glucose and galactose, it has multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, allowing it to dissolve in water. This property makes lactose soluble and able to interact with the aqueous environment in biological systems.
What monomer makes up carbohydrate?
The monomers of the "sugars" are monosaccharides. Two of them together create a disaccharide, while more than two create a polysaccharide. Examples of monosaccharides include fructose, glucose, and galactose.
What is the relationship between the number of hydrogen atom and number of oxygen atom in disaccharide?
As far as I understand, there is no direct correlation between the number of hydrogens and the number of oxygens in a disaccharide. This is because monosaccharides (which form disaccharides) can be very different from one an other. Monosaccharides may be either an aldose or a ketose. These have different heads (aldehyde and ketone) with different numbers of both oxygens and hydrogens. Monosaccharides can also vary in length, which adds to the diversity of oxygen and hydrogen count. So disaccharides can be composed of two aldoses, two ketose, or one of each. Not to mention the possibility of sugar alcohols, sugar esters, deoxy sugars, or other derivatives. All these dynamics makes defining a distinct and simple relationship between H and O atom counts very challenging, if not impossible.
Why is the molisch test slower with disaccharides?
The Molisch test detects carbohydrates by breaking them down to monosaccharides. Disaccharides need to be hydrolyzed into their constituent monosaccharides before they can react with the Molisch reagent, which makes the test slower compared to monosaccharides that can react directly.
What is in milk that makes it a good culture medium for production of yogurt?
Lactose
Why does milk not taste sweet?
Lactose, which is a disaccharide (sugar) makes up between 2% and 8% of milk by weight. In digestion, it is broken down into glucose and galactose (monosaccharides). But lactose does not have the sweet taste associated with most sugars.
Why does milk not taste very sweet?
Lactose, which is a disaccharide (sugar) makes up between 2% and 8% of milk by weight. In digestion, it is broken down into glucose and galactose (monosaccharides). But lactose does not have the sweet taste associated with most sugars.
What is responsible for the sweet taste of milk?
Lactose, which is a disaccharide (sugar) makes up between 2% and 8% of milk by weight. In digestion, it is broken down into glucose and galactose (monosaccharides). Lactose, also called milk sugar, provides some sweetness, but its really a very bland sugar. Most of the sweetness is actually due to the fat/cream.
When glucose and galactose join together it becomes?
It becomes milk sugar or more commonly known as lactose. One glucose monomer and one galactose monomer makes the disaccharide lactose.
What do monosaccharide and monosaccharide makes?
Two monosaccharides bond together through a dehydration reaction to form a disaccharide. Water is released during this process. For example, glucose + fructose forms the disaccharide sucrose.
Is lactose hydrophilic?
Yes, lactose is considered hydrophilic. As a disaccharide sugar composed of glucose and galactose, it has multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, allowing it to dissolve in water. This property makes lactose soluble and able to interact with the aqueous environment in biological systems.
What makes up a dissaccharide?
A disaccharide is a molecule composed of two monosaccharide units joined together by a glycosidic bond. The most common disaccharides include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).
What monomer makes up carbohydrate?
The monomers of the "sugars" are monosaccharides. Two of them together create a disaccharide, while more than two create a polysaccharide. Examples of monosaccharides include fructose, glucose, and galactose.
What makes you lactose intolorent?
The reason you get lactose intolarence is because you dont have enough enzimes to digest the lactose.
What units makes up carbs?
That would be Monosaccharides
What does lactose and water make?
it makes fructose
Smallest molecule that makes up carbohydrates?
Monosaccharides, such as glucose, sucrose, and galactose
