| Question | Answer |
| Two main functions of monosaccharides. | 1) primary energy source for fuelling cell metabolism. 2) to participate in reduction reactions. |
| Lactose: a) What is the enzyme responsible for the catalysis? b) What are the products of hydrolysis? c) Where is it naturally found? | a) Lactase. b) Galactose and Glucose. c) Found in dairy products; it is the primary carbohydrate for suckling mammalian infants. |
| Maltose: a) What is the enzyme responsible for the catalysis? b) What are the products of hydrolysis? c) Where is it naturally found? | a) Amylase. b) a-glucose + a-glucose. c) Found in germinating seeds as they break down their starch stores to use for food. |
| Sucrose: a) What is the enzyme responsible for the catalysis? b) What are the products of hydrolysis? c) Where is it naturally found? | a) Sucrose. b) a-glucose + B-fructose. c) Found as table salt and is derived from sugar cane. |
| Suggest how the digestive disorder lactose intolerance arises. | Lactose intolerance arises because some people lack the enzyme lactase which means that when they eat dairy products the lactose isn't broken down causing wind and diarrhoea. |
