What is the difference between monosaccharides and disaccharides? What are
Текст на Статията
- Hello Nena!! I'm a bit confused about the topic that Ms. Lim discussed. Can you explain it to me?
- Did you mean the difference between monosaccharides and disaccharides?
- uhhmmm I'm also confused about the difference of it.
- Youre right Lita. According to Ms. Lim when we say Monosaccharides these are simple molecules of carbohydrates that cannot be broken into other carbohydrates. While disaccharides are carbohydrates made of two monosaccharides and with the loss of one molecule of water dehydration.
- Yeah about that one. I can't recall the difference of those. And what are their uses in our body.
- All I can recall is monosacharides are simple molecules of carbohydrates and dissacharides is a combination of two monosaccharides
- Monosaccharides and disaccharides comprise the smallest types of carbohydrates. In general, they exhibit much of the same properties; such as water solubility and a sweet taste. Both consist of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in varying proportions.
- Am I correct?Monosaccharides serve as carbohydrate monomers; disaccharides are simply two monosaccharide units bonded together. Though both are referred to as sugars -- they still exhibit a number of differences.
- Disaccharides, on the other hand, have the general chemical formula Cn(H2O)n-1, as they result from a dehydration reaction between two monosaccharides – a reaction in which a molecule of water is removed.
- As I have read , the general formula for a monosaccharide is (CH2O)n, where n is an integer greater than or equal to three. Based on the value of n, they can be classified as trioses (glyceraldehyde), tetroses (erythrose), pentoses (ribose), hexoses (glucose), and heptoses (sedoheptulose). But what about the dissacharides?
- Can you give me examples of monossacharides so I can understand it well.
- Yeah sure.Glucose, galactose, and fructose are common monosaccharides, whereas common disaccharides include lactose, maltose, and sucrose.
- Ms. Lim gave examples of it so I can briefly recall those.
- Nice, Thank you now I know the difference of it.
- You're always welcome. I 'm happy that I've help you two.
- Thank you Lita. It is also clear to me the difference of those two carbohydrates
