Disaccharides: Transport Forms
Sugars are often transported in other organisms as
Disaccharides
Sucrose
Form of
sugar
transported in plants from
photosynthetic
cells to other parts
Composed of the
monosaccaride
s
glucose
and
fructose
Trehalose
Form of sugar found in
insect
bloodstreams
Two glucose units linked together
Lactose
Occurs only in
milk
Glucose
combined with
galactose
In the synthesis of a disaccharide molecule from two monosaccharides,
condensation
occurs (OH and H is removed so carbons can bond.) Thus, only the free monomers of carbohydrates actually have a CH
2
O ratio.
When a
disaccharide
is split into two monosaccharides, hydrolysis occurs (H
2
O is added.)
Hydrolysis
is an energy releasing reaction. The energy needed for synthesis is provided by hydrolysis
