describe how disaccharides are formed
disaccharides are formed by joining two monosaccharides together in a condensation reaction.
1 of 14
describe what number mono and di stands for
mono= 1
di=2
2 of 14
for any biological molecule making larger chains out of individual units always involves what type of reaction?
a condensation reaction
3 of 14
describe the similarities between monosaccharides and disaccharides
like monosaccharides, disaccharides are sweet-tasting and soluble carbohydrates. they are sugars
4 of 14
describe a disaccharide
disaccharides are sugars that are composed of two monosaccharides joined together by a condensation reaction
5 of 14
if you combine two alpha glucose isomers what disaccharide is formed?
maltose
6 of 14
what type of reaction would be used to form the disaccharide maltose
a condensation reaction would be used to combine two alpha glucose isomers to form the disaccharide maltose
7 of 14
what type of seed can the disaccharide maltose be found in?
germinating seeds as more complex carbohydrates are broken down for energy
8 of 14
what happens if alpha glucose isomer and monosaccharide fructose combine?
the disaccharide sucrose is made through a condensation reaction
9 of 14
what disaccharide is usually found in a plants phloem to provide sugars to other parts of the plant?
the disaccharide sucrose
10 of 14
describe how photosynthesis makes sugars needed for a plants respiration
sunlight produces sugars in the leaf, the plant stores and makes these into sucrose, sucrose is vital for the plants respiration and must be transported around the plant through the phloem tissue
11 of 14
alpha glucose and what other monosaccharide is used to form lactose?
galactose and alpha glucose combine through a condensation reaction to from disaccharide lactose
12 of 14
what type of milk is lactose found in that provides energy for infant mammals?
mammalian milk
13 of 14
a condensation reaction always forms what by product?
water/ h20
