What is Understanding Disaccharides and Their Functions about?
A disaccharide, or double sugar, is formed by two monosaccharides and has the chemical formula C12H22O11, with common examples including sucrose, maltose, and lactose. Disaccharides serve as energy sources in foods and are involved in energy storage and nutrient transport in plants. They are created through dehydration reactions and broken down via hydrolysis, distinguishing them from simple dissolution processes.
