what is a disaccharide?
a molecule made from glucose, bound together in a condensation reaction forming 1-4 glycosidic bonds.
1 of 9
how do you break a disaccharide?
hydrolysis reactions
2 of 9
name three types of disaccharides and their constituant parts.
Maltose – formed from two glucose molecules joined by an alpha 1-4 glycosidic bond. Sucrose – formed from glucose and fructose joined by an alpha 1-4 glycosidic bond. Lactose – formed from glucose and galactose joined by an beta 1-4 glycosidic bond.

what are reducing sugars?
sugars that reduce other compounds to form a precipitate. The colour of the precipitate depends on the concentration of the sugar.
4 of 9
how do you test for sugars?
Benedict’s reagent If a non-reducing sugar is suspected, add hydrochloric acid into a test tube. place test tube into water bath to perform hydrolysis. neutralise acid with sodium hydrogencarbonate.then add Benedict’s solution.

what is metabolism?
the total of all of the reactions that take place in organsims
6 of 9
what is anabolism?
the building up of larger, more complex molecules from smaller, simpler ones with energy
7 of 9
what is catabolism?
the breaking down of larger, more complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones, releasing energy.
