Concept introduction: Carbohydrates are an important source of energy that is present in most food which includes fruits, peas, bread, etc.
Answer to Problem 104A
The complete reaction is depicted as follows:
Explanation of Solution
Carbohydrates are classified based on the sugar units present into three types which are discussed as follows:
- Monosaccharide
- Disaccharide
- Polysaccharide
Disaccharides are carbohydrates formed when two monosaccharides are bonded together.
In a disaccharide, the bond between two monosaccharides is known as glycosidic linkage. Some examples of disaccharides are sucrose, maltose, etc.
In the given reaction, two sugar units react to produce a sugar molecule i.e., a disaccharide. One sugar unit is glucose while the other unit is fructose. When glucose and fructose react together, it yields sucrose with an elimination of a water molecule.
The
Thus, when two monosaccharide units are joined together they form a disaccharide along with a water molecule.
