  • The equation Glucose + Glucose \rightarrow Maltose + H_{2}O</latex> represents a condensation reaction.
  • Match the disaccharide with its composition:
    Maltose ↔️ Glucose + Glucose
    Sucrose ↔️ Glucose + Fructose
    Lactose ↔️ Glucose + Galactose
  • Maltose is composed of glucose and glucose
  • Which disaccharide is formed from glucose and fructose?
    Sucrose
  • Lactose is composed of glucose and galactose
  • Disaccharides are formed through a condensation reaction between two monosaccharides.
  • What type of bond links two monosaccharides in a disaccharide?
    Glycosidic bond
  • Match the type of glycosidic bond with its example:
    α\alpha-Glycosidic ↔️ Maltose
    β\beta-Glycosidic ↔️ Lactose
  • What monosaccharides make up sucrose?
    Glucose and Fructose
  • Sucrose is formed by an α(12)\alpha(1 \rightarrow 2) glycosidic bond
  • Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar because it lacks aldehyde or ketone groups.
  • What molecule is eliminated during the formation of a glycosidic bond in disaccharides?
    H2OH_{2}O
  • In which food is lactose commonly found?
    Milk
  • Maltose is composed of glucose and glucose
  • A glycosidic bond is formed through a condensation reaction.
  • What are the two main types of glycosidic bonds?
    α\alpha and β\beta

    α\alpha-Glycosidic ↔️ Maltose
    β\beta-Glycosidic ↔️ Lactose
  • What type of bond links two monosaccharides together?
    Glycosidic bond
  • Glycosidic bonds form through a condensation reaction, eliminating a water molecule.
  • There are two main types of glycosidic bonds: \alpha and β\beta bonds.
  • What is an example of a disaccharide formed by an α\alpha-glycosidic bond?

    Maltose
  • Lactose is an example of a disaccharide formed by a β\beta-glycosidic bond.
  • Sucrose is composed of glucose and fructose linked by an α(12)\alpha(1 \rightarrow 2) glycosidic bond.
  • Why is sucrose classified as a non-reducing sugar?
    No free aldehyde group
  • Match the disaccharide with its monosaccharide composition and glycosidic bond type:
    Lactose ↔️ Glucose + Galactose, β(14)\beta(1 \rightarrow 4)
    Maltose ↔️ Glucose + Glucose, α(14)\alpha(1 \rightarrow 4)
    Sucrose ↔️ Glucose + Fructose, α(12)\alpha(1 \rightarrow 2)
  • Lactose is a reducing sugar due to the presence of a free aldehyde group.
