Question

in each diagram explain what is happening. your answer should identify what the ? represents also. diagrams explanations glucose ? protein ? dna ? complex carbohydrate ?

Explanation:

1. For glucose: Glucose molecules are undergoing a condensation reaction to form a polysaccharide. The '?' represents a polysaccharide such as starch or glycogen.
2. For protein: The protein is being broken down into its monomers, amino - acids, through a hydrolysis reaction. The '?' represents amino - acids.
3. For DNA: Nucleotides are being joined together through a condensation reaction to form a DNA strand. The '?' represents nucleotides.
4. For complex carbohydrate: The complex carbohydrate is being broken down into its monomers, simple sugars (monosaccharides), through a hydrolysis reaction. The '?' represents monosaccharides.

Answer:

1. Explanation: Glucose monomers form a polysaccharide by condensation. '?': Polysaccharide
2. Explanation: Protein is hydrolyzed into amino - acids. '?': Amino - acids
3. Explanation: Nucleotides form DNA by condensation. '?': Nucleotides
4. Explanation: Complex carbohydrate is hydrolyzed into monosaccharides. '?': Monosaccharides
