Document Summary
Monosaccharides (what is glucose, and why does the body need it?) C 6 h 12 o 6: l. smith 2014. Disaccharides and lactose intolerance (what is lactose, and why should some people avoid it in their diets?) Where indicated, also answer specific questions and provide examples: simple carbohydrate (include two examples) carbohydrates that are broken down quickly by the body to be used as energy (ex. Glucose molecules are combined using a condensation reaction to make maltose and lactose: hydrolysis (also explain how this reaction applies to the digestion of maltose and lactose) the chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water. Monosaccharides glucose monosaccharide fructose monosaccharide galactose monosaccharide maltose. What causes lactose intolerance? (in your answer, be sure to discuss any relevant enzymes in the body. ) When the body has a deficiency in enzyme lactase, lactose builds up in the small intestine and leads to bloating, gas, cramps, nausea, and diarrhea; this condition is called lactose intolerance.
