Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What makes up the disaccharide sucrose?
A
glucose + glucose
B
glucose + fructose
C
glucose + galactose
D
glucose + maltose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sucrose, which is formed following photosynthesis in green plants, consists of one molecule of glucose and one of fructose bonded via an -, -linkage.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is made up of Beta-D-galactose and -D-glucose. The bond is between the first carbon of galactose and the fourth carbon of glucose.

Detailed explanation-5: -Disaccharides. Disaccharides are formed by joining pairs of various monosaccharides via -or -glycosidic bonds. A hemiacetal hydroxyl group formed from the oxygen of the carbonyl group (−C=O) always participates in the formation of these bonds. In certain cases, all the carbonyl groups in the molecule are used.
