Question

Explain oligosaccharides​

Answer 1

Answer:

Oligosaccharide, any carbohydrate of from three to six units of simple sugars (monosaccharides). A large number of oligosaccharides have been prepared by partially breaking down more complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides). Most of the few naturally occurring oligosaccharides are found in plants.

Explanation:

Oligosaccharides are formed when two or more monosaccharides join together by O-glycosidic bonds. Examples include sucrose, lactose and maltose. Specific enzymes are used to catalyze the glycosidic bonds in olgosaccharides and each sugar must be specific to each enzyme used for each new glycosidic bond

Answer 2

Oligosaccharides refers to carbohydrates of from three to six units of simple sugars ( MONOSACCHARIDES)

For eg: sucrose lactose and maltose.
