As disaccharides travel through the body they are broken down into simple sugars, or monosaccharides, by a process called hydrolysis. This process is facilitated
When we consume disaccharides our bodies break them down into single sugars. These sugars are glucose, fructose and galactose, and they areused as energy for our body. Lactose, for example, can be found in breast milk and is used as an energy source by infants. What are the two types of...

[5]. Some maltose can be absorbed as such, without being broken down into glucose[6]. Maltose and its digestion product glucose attract water from the intestinal wall (osmotic effect) so they can cause diarrhea if consumed in excess. The laxation threshold for maltose in healthy people is ...
