The diagram below shows the formation of the disaccharide maltose, which occurs when two molecules of glucose undergo a dehydration reaction: What would be the result if a molecule of fructose became bound to glucose instead?
Explain how the properties of the molecule that forms might differ from maltose. HO -CHHO – CHaHO -CH2HO -CHOHH-0–0-HHHOHHOHHOHHOHH+H20OHOHOHFO-T0-IHOHHOHOHOHGlucoseGlucoseMaltose
