You can find this video and other helpful videos/materials (practice sheet and questions) on my website: www.profroofs.com

In this video I briefly discuss the breakdown of disaccharides (sucrose, maltose and lactose) into their respective monosaccharides (glucose, galactose and fructose). I then spend the majority of the time discussing the cells of the body that contain each transporter (GLUTs 1-5 and 7 and SGLT-1 and SGLT-2). I provide helpful tips on how to memorize these locations and a few practice questions at the end.
