Question
- what is the name of the reaction when you split a disaccharide? what products do you gain?
Brief Explanations
A disaccharide is a carbohydrate composed of two monosaccharide units joined by a glycosidic bond. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which water is used to break a bond. In the case of disaccharides, the glycosidic bond is broken by water. For example, sucrose (a disaccharide) undergoes hydrolysis to form glucose and fructose (both monosaccharides).
