What is the formula for the hydrolysis of maltose?

Answer:

Maltose

Explanation:

Maltose consists of two molecules of glucose that are linked by an α-(1,4′) glycosidic bond. Maltose results from the enzymatic hydrolysis of amylose, a homopolysaccharide (Section 26.9), by the enzyme amylase. Maltose is converted to two molecules of glucose by the enzyme maltase, which hydrolyzes the glycosidic bond. Commercial maltose is produced from starch that has been treated with barley malt.

The monosaccharide unit on the left is the hemiacetal of the α-d-glucopyranosyl unit. It is linked by an α-(1,4′) glycosidic bond to β-d-glucopyranose, the aglycone. The oxygen atom of the glycosidic bond is approximately in the center of the structure, between the two rings. It is projected down, axial, and therefore α. It is linked to C-4 of the aglycone, and so the link is axial–equatorial.

Maltose has a more formal, IUPAC of name: 4-O-(α-d-glucopyranosyl)-β-d-glucopyranose. This rather forbidding name is not quite as bad as it looks. The term in parentheses refers to the glucose unit on the left, which contributes the acetal portion of the glycosidic bond. The term -pyrano- tells us that this part of the structure is a six-membered ring, and the suffix -osyl indicates that the ring is linked to a partner by a glycosidic bond. The prefix 4-O- refers to the position of the oxygen atom on the aglycone, the right-hand ring. The term β-d-glucopyranose describes the aglycone.

Because the aglycone is a hemiacetal, maltose undergoes mutarotation. For the same reason maltose is a reducing sugar. The free aldehyde formed by ring opening can react with Benedict’s solution. The acetal part of the structure is called the “nonreducing end” of the disaccharide. If we do not want to specify the configuration of the aglycone, we use the name 4-O-(α-d-glucopyranosyl)-d-glucopyranose.

What is the role of energy in living Organisms? Is it a more or less important role than other characteristics of life? Defend y
sdas [7]
Energy is vital for living organisms is our fuel . if there is no energy formed we can t talk about life because things cells that are too little to experience things have this purpose to form energy in order for us to function.we need to see the human body in a constant dynamic because every second is breaking and forming Atp( the primary source of energy) and using that atp for everything moving thinking keeping us healthy ex transporting macromolecular substances like glucose that is lately broke down (glicolisis) and forms other molecules of AtP .And the cycle goes on.In my opinion is decisive because if there is no energy there is no life the other things could work if the the everyday light goes away the moon can still be there we can still be there but at some point we will dissapear.Energy is requiered for everything to occur it repairs builds and maintains body tissues without it the has no chance to survive .Because there will be no metabolic processes and no cycle of energy exchanges.
