Maltose
|
Maltose is an example of a disaccharide made by linking two molecules of glucose together. Maltose occurs naturally in plants in the form of starch and in animals in the form of glycogen. These polysaccharides are energy storage molecules that can be hydrolyzed and metabolized in times of nutrient starvation. |
