Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What kind of monosaccharide molecule produces maltose?
A
Alpha-glucose + Alpha-glucose
B
Alpha-D-glucose + Alpha-D-glucose
C
Beta-D-glucose + Alpha-D-glucose
D
Beta-D-glucose + Beta-D-glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Maltose is reducing sugar. Monosaccharide of maltose is alpha D-glucose. Maltose is formed by alpha 1, 4 glycosidic linkage of two alpha D-glucose units.

Detailed explanation-2: -Maltose which is also known as malt is a disaccharide made up of two alpha D glucose unit. The two-unit of glucose are linked with an alpha 1, 4 glycosidic bond.

Detailed explanation-3: -Maltose is a disaccharide composed of which two monosaccharides? Explanation: Maltose, which is made up of two glucose monomers joined by an alpha-1, 4 linkage, is the correct answer.

Detailed explanation-4: -Maltose is composed of two -D-glucose units in which C−1 of one glucose (I) is linked to C−4 of another glucose unit (II).

Detailed explanation-5: -alpha-D-Glucose, also known as alpha-dextrose or alpha-D-GLC, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hexoses. These are monosaccharides in which the sugar unit is a is a six-carbon containing moeity.
