Question

Maltose is made of the units (A) α-D glucose and β-D glucose (B) α-D glucose and β-D fructose (C) α-D glucose and α-D glucose (D) α-D glucose and β-D galactose

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The disaccharide maltose (malt sugar) is formed by the condensation of two molecules of &alpha;-D-glycopyranose in which C1 of one glucose unit is connected to C4 of the other glucose unit.

Q. Maltose is made of the units

$α$ -D glucose and $β$ -D glucose

$α$ -D glucose and $β$ -D fructose

$α$ -D glucose and $α$ -D glucose

$α$ -D glucose and $β$ -D galactose

The disaccharide maltose (malt sugar) is formed by the condensation of two molecules of α-D-glycopyranose in which C₁ of one glucose unit is connected to C₄ of the other glucose unit.
