Write the equation for the formation of maltose, a disaccharide, which consists of two blood glucose units. classify the reaction.

The maltose equation is a condensation equation and is expressed by the formula: alpha-D-glucose + alpha-D-glucose = Maltose + H2O

Explanation:

Maltose is a carbohydrate, an organic molecule made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Maltose is a disaccharide, that is, formed by two molecules of simple glycids (glucose) joined by an acetal bond. This specific bond is called α-1,4'-glycosidic bond. The linkage occurs between C-1 of one sugar subunit and C-4 of the other.

The glucose formation equation is expressed by the formula: alpha-D-glucose + alpha-D-glucose = Maltose + H2O. This is a condensation equation characterized by the release of water in addition to the final product.

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.

you can have just about every answer you can think of
