Vedclass · Answer

(B) Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose units linked by an $\alpha-1,4$-glycosidic bond.Upon hydrolysis,catalyzed by the enzyme maltase or by dilute acids,maltose breaks down into its constituent monosaccharides.The chemical reaction is: $	ext{C}_{12}	ext{H}_{22}	ext{O}_{11} + 	ext{H}_2	ext{O} \xrightarrow{	ext{Maltase}} 2	ext{C}_6	ext{H}_{12}	ext{O}_6$ (Glucose + Glucose).Therefore,the hydrolysis of maltose yields two molecules of glucose.
