Key Stage 4
Meaning
Disaccharides are sugars made from two monosaccharides that are all isomers with the formula C12H22O11.
About Disaccharides
- Disaccharides react together in a polymerisation reaction.
- Disaccharides must be broken into monosaccharides before they can provide energy to the cells via respiration.
The three main disaccharidess are:
