A disaccharide can be represented by the general formula C12H22O11, where n represents the number of monosaccharide units. For example, sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose, which can be represented as C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 -> C12H22O11 + H2O.
A disaccharide is formed from the condensation of two monosaccharides, with the release of a water molecule. For example, sucrose is composed of glucose and fructose, and its formation can be represented as follows: Glucose + Fructose -> Sucrose + Water.
An example of a disaccharide is sucrose, made up of glucose and fructose. The equation to represent this is: C12H22O11 (sucrose) = C6H12O6 (glucose) + C6H12O6 (fructose).
a water molecule is also formed (a.k.a. H2O)
it takes place by the breaking apart of water. A water is broken apart to for a H- and an OH- which then, with the help of enzymes, pulls the 2 monosaccharides apart and gives each a part of the water to make them stable.
Sucrose is a disaccharide made of glucose and fructose. Starch is a polysaccharide that is simply a chain of glucose.
