question 7
the reaction involved in joining two simple sugars together to form a disaccharide requires ______
answer
the presence of cations and anions to initiate electrical attraction
the disassembling of molecules through hydrolysis
the addition of water to create a more complex molecule
the removal of water to create a more complex molecule
i dont know yet
When two simple sugars (monosaccharides) combine to form a disaccharide, a dehydration - synthesis reaction occurs. In this reaction, a water molecule is removed as a covalent bond forms between the two monosaccharides, creating a more complex molecule.
