Question

maltose is a disaccharide found mostly in the seeds of wheat, oats, rice, barley, rye, and millet. the model shows the chemical structure of maltose.
compare the chemical structure of maltose to lactose and sucrose.
complete the sentences.
maltose is a made of the glucose. compared to lactose and sucrose, maltose has carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.

Explanation:

Maltose is a disaccharide (a type of carbohydrate formed by two monosaccharides). Looking at its structure, it is made of two glucose molecules. When comparing its formula \(C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}\) with lactose (\(C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}\)) and sucrose (\(C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}\)), they all have the same number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.

Answer:

Maltose is a disaccharide made of the two glucose. Compared to lactose and sucrose, maltose has the same number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
