Chapter 21, Problem 61P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A structure for the disaccharide is to be proposed.

Concept Introduction:

The disaccharides formed from the monosaccharide units that are connected with each other through the glycosidic bonds.  Glycosidic bonds are the type of covalent bonds.  The condensation reactions are also involved in the formation of disaccharides.  The elimination of water molecules takes place during the condensation reactions.

Monosaccharide units are made from the biomolecules that comprise carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms.  These molecules cannot be broken into the simpler compounds.  The numbers of isomers are obtained from biomolecules due to the chiral nature of carbon atoms.
