molecule
disaccharide two monosaccharides linked together
What group do monosaccharides and sugars (glucose and sucrose)
disaccharides form?
made up of molecules like maltodextrin, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides
amylose, and glycogen.
(simple sugars) such as glucose, galactose Monosaccharides
and fructose are the most basic
carbohydrates. These molecules link
together to make every other carbohydrate
in the body.
What is the most prolific monosaccharide? glucose
How is glucose used? in processes like glycolysis or photosynthesis in order to provide energy to the cell.
(compound or double sugars) are made up Disaccharide
of two monosaccharides linked together.
What is the most abundant disaccharide? Sucrose
What does sucrose consist of? glucose and fructose bonded together
Disaccharide that commonly occurs in milk, Lactose
and is fermented by certain bacteria in lactic
acid fermentation.
carbohydrates that typically consist of Oligosaccharides
anywhere from 3 to 10 monosaccharides.
Often used as food additives, and are used
