Detailed explanation-1: -After consuming sucrose, our body needs to digest it through a process called hydrolysis. During hydrolysis, water is added into the disaccharide to break it apart. The result is the monomers: glucose and fructose. Polysaccharides are composed of many sugars.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The complete hydrolysis of polysaccharides results in the formation of their individual monosaccharide units. For starch and glycogen, the product of their complete hydrolysis would be glucose.
Detailed explanation-3: -The end product of digestion of starch is glucose. Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-4: -The end products of sugars and starches digestion are the monosaccharides glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Detailed explanation-5: -When a polysaccharide is hydrolysed, it releases monosaccharides. Water is added in the reaction. This is a response that indicates understanding of hydrolysis but mention of the use of water in the breaking of bonds would have improved the answer.
