What is a chemical breakdown of a substance with water called?
hydrolysis: hydro = water, lysis = cutting
What is the role of hydrolysis in the relationships between monosaccharides disaccharides and polyssacharides?
Hydrolysis involes splitting a molecule into smaller fragments with the addition of water. During the process, -H and -OH are added to these smaller fragments. The disaccharides (i.e. two sugars) are split into two monosaccharides (i.e. single sugars). The polysaccharides (i.e. multiple sugars) are spilt into disaccharides. This process of hydrolysis depends on enzyme control in organisms.
Is water a disaccharide?
Water is not a disaccharide. Water is H2O, and a dissacharide, which is a carbohydrate, is exemplified by something like table sugar, which has C12H22O11 as its chemical formula. Interestingly, some disaccharides are formed from a pair of monosaccharides by the removal of a water molecule through condensation.
When glucose and fructose combine to be sucrose and water what chemical reaction is taking place?
This is a socalled condensation reaction, more specific it is the disaccharide forming "acetal (α-1) to (2-β) ketal"-reaction in sucrose, which is therefor named:D-glucopyranosyl-α-(1→2)-β-D-fructofuranoside
Which of these processes is an example of hydrolysis?
Water is involved in the breakdown of:peptide bonds (proteine breakdown into amino acidsglycosidic bonds (starch breakdown into sugars)lipoic bonds (fat breakdown into fatty acids and glycerol)
What common compound is formed when disaccharides and polysaccharides are formed?
Water
What is the process by which disaccharides and polysaccharides can be broken apart?
Disaccharides are broken down by hydrolysis, which is the addition of water molecule, to turn into two monosaccharides
What is the breakdown of water into hydrogen to oxygen is an example of?
Electrolysis. The breakdown of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas.
Is car fender breakdown by water air and salt a chemical breakdown?
yes
What is the process whereby disaccharides and polysaccharides can be disassembled into simpler sugars by the addition of a water molecule?
Hydrolysis.
Use the word vital in a sentence?
Water is vital for survival. i.e we need water to live.
What does water breakdown into?
Hydrogen and Oxygen =)
What is the breakdown of land to water?
erosion
Is the process whereby disaccharides and polysaccharides can be disassembled into simpler sugars by the addition of a water molecule?
Hydrolysis A. for plato.
How are sugars formed and broken down?
sugar is formed by disaccharides and broken down by water or 20 hydrogen
Is the process whereby disaccharides and polysaccharides can be disassemble into simpler sugars by the addition a water molecule?
Hydrolysis A. for plato.
How is hydrolysis weathering different from hydration weathering?
hydrolisis is the chemical breakdown of rocks as they react with water where as hydration is the breakdown of rocks as they absorb water.
