Step 1
The formation of maltose involves the reaction between the anomeric carbon (C1) of one glucose molecule and the hydroxyl group (OH) on the C4 carbon of another glucose molecule. During the formation of maltose, the anomeric carbon of the first glucose molecule Show more…

why alpha and beta forms exist for maltose but not for sucrose?
Madhur L.
What are the structural differences between $\alpha$ - and $\beta$ -glucose? Each of these two cyclic forms of glucose is the building block to form two different polymers. Explain.
Both cellulose and starch are composed of many glucose molecules joined together in long chains. A) Indicate what type of biomolecules these are, identify the monomer and the polymer. B) Us humans we can digest starch but not cellulose. Why can't we digest cellulose if it's composed of glucose just like starch? Explain, making a connection between structure and function of biomolecules.
