Disaccharides: structure of maltose, lactose, and sucrose

Disaccharides, a type of carbohydrate, consist of two monosaccharide units linked together by a glycosidic bond. Monosaccharides, the building blocks for disaccharides, undergo a condensation reaction to form a disaccharide, eliminating a water molecule as the two monosaccharide units join together. Maltose Maltose is a disaccharide, a type of carbohydrate consisting of two glucose molecules […]
