What is the name of the carbohydrate formed when maltose breaks down a. fructose and glucose b. galactose and glucose c. maltose and maltase d. glucose and glucose

The correct answer is d. glucose and glucose.<br /><br />Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules linked together. When maltose breaks down, it is hydrolyzed into two glucose molecules. This process is catalyzed by the enzyme maltase, which breaks the glycosidic bond between the glucose units.<br /><br />Therefore, the correct answer is d. glucose and glucose.
