Question

multiple select question
select all that apply
choose all that are dietary disaccharides.
glucose
sucrose
starch
maltose
lactose

Explanation:

To determine dietary disaccharides, we recall:

• Glucose: Monosaccharide (single sugar unit), not a disaccharide.
• Sucrose: Disaccharide (glucose + fructose), common in diet.
• Starch: Polysaccharide (many sugar units), not a disaccharide.
• Maltose: Disaccharide (glucose + glucose), found in diets (e.g., malted foods).
• Lactose: Disaccharide (glucose + galactose), found in dairy.

So the dietary disaccharides are Sucrose, Maltose, and Lactose.

Answer:

B. Sucrose, D. Maltose, E. Lactose
