Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which carbohydrate is made up of two glucose molecules?
A
Lactose
B
Maltose
C
Sucrose
D
Galactose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Maltose, or malt sugar, is a disaccharide formed by a dehydration reaction between two glucose molecules. The most common disaccharide is sucrose, or table sugar, which is composed of the monomers glucose and fructose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Maltose consists of two molecules of glucose that are linked by an -(1, 4′) glycosidic bond. Maltose results from the enzymatic hydrolysis of amylose, a homopolysaccharide (Section 26.9), by the enzyme amylase. Maltose is converted to two molecules of glucose by the enzyme maltase, which hydrolyzes the glycosidic bond.

Detailed explanation-3: -Maltose, or malt sugar, is a disaccharide made up of two glucose molecules. The most common disaccharide is sucrose (table sugar), which is made of glucose and fructose.

Detailed explanation-4: -maltose is a disaccharide formed by condensation of two glucose molecules. sucrose is a disaccharide formed by condensation of a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule. lactose is a disaccharide formed by condensation of a glucose molecule and a galactose molecule.

Detailed explanation-5: -Maltose is a disaccharide that’s made up of 2 glucose units joined together.
