- 1What are the three simple molecules of sugar? MonosaccharidesGlucose
Galactose
Fructose - 2Which are the three Disaccharides formed by the monosaccharides mentioned above?Glucose + Glucose = Maltose
Glucose + Galactose = Lactose
Glucose + Fructose = Sucrose - 3Reducing SugarsGlucose
Galactose
Fructose
Lactose
Maltose - 4Non Reducing SugarSucrose
- 5Test for Reducing SugarsAdd Benedicts solution.
Heat it to 95 C.
A coloured precipitate will form if reducing sugars are persent. - 6Test for Non Reducing SugarsTake the sample in a test tube, add some HCl heat for 1 minute.
Add Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, to neutralize it. Carry out the benedicts test for Reducing sugar. - 7Reaction that forms Disaccharides fro MonosaccharidesCondensation
- 8Reaction that forms Monosaccharides from DisaccharidesHydrolysis
