    Study Notes

    Monosaccharides

    • Glucose is the most common monosaccharide.

    Polysaccharides

    • Starch and cellulose are both polysaccharides, but they differ in their glycosidic bonds: starch has α-1,4 bonds, while cellulose has β-1,4 bonds.
    • Cellulose is a major component of the tough wall of plant cells.

    Disaccharides

    • A disaccharide is a type of sugar formed by the bonding of two monosaccharides.

    Lactose Intolerance

    • Lactose intolerance is a condition in which the body is unable to digest lactose, a disaccharide found in milk, due to a lack of lactase enzyme.
