Question

1. polymers are put together by a series of dehydration synthesis reactions. they are taken apart by hydrolysis reactions. in hydrolysis, a molecule of water is added for every two molecules that are separated. the following molecule is a disaccharide (two sugars bonded together). next to the disaccharide, draw the two monosaccharides that would result from the hydrolysis of the molecule. hint: the darker line shows the bond that is broken in hydrolysis.

Explanation:

Step1: Break the indicated bond.

Separate the disaccharide at the bond shown by the darker - line.

Step2: Add water.

Add a water molecule to form two monosaccharides.

Answer:

Draw two monosaccharides with the broken bond now having an - OH group on one side and an - H group on the other side where the bond was broken.
