question 16
complete the equation:
monosaccharide + monosaccharide → disaccharide + ____________
polypeptide
water
fat
protein
When two monosaccharides combine to form a disaccharide, they do so through a condensation reaction. In a condensation reaction, a molecule of water is removed. For example, glucose + glucose → maltose + water. Polypeptides are formed from amino acids, fats from fatty acids and glycerol, and proteins are made up of polypeptides. None of these (polypeptide, fat, protein) are produced when two monosaccharides react to form a disaccharide.
