DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Disaccharides. Disaccharides consist of two monosaccharide units, linked together with glycosidic bonds in the or orientation. The most important of them are sucrose, lactose, and maltose . Sucrose is the most abundant and consists of a molecule of -glucose and -fructose linked together (Figure 2(a)).

Detailed explanation-2: -Sucrose is made up of glucose and fructose Disaccharides are made up of two linked monosaccharides and are broken back down into monosaccharides during digestion ( 1 ). Sucrose is a disaccharide consisting of one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule, or 50% glucose and 50% fructose.
