The chemical equation is:
3 C6H12O6--------------C18H32O16 + 2 H2O
Monosaccharides are combined to make disaccharides and polysaccharides through dehydration synthesis, which is an anabolic reaction that requires energy to build the bonds, and water is removed from the bonds and released into the environment.
Hydrolisis
A disaccharide is formed when two monosaccharides are joined together by a reaction known as a dehydration, or condensation, synthesis. In this type of reaction water is removed, thus the name "dehydration". A new molecule is formed or "synthesized" from the two previously separate ones.
The reaction is called "Dehydration Synthesis".
A chemical reaction can be represented by a chemical equation.
Monosaccharides are produced through the hydrolysis of polysaccharides, a reaction where water is added to break the glycosidic bonds linking sugar units together. This process results in the cleavage of the polymer into individual monosaccharide units. On the other hand, dehydration synthesis (or condensation) of monosaccharides forms polysaccharides by removing water to create glycosidic bonds.
A chemical reaction is represented by a chemical equation.
The reaction that links two monosaccharides together is a condensation reaction, where a molecule of water is removed to form a glycosidic bond between the two monosaccharides. This process is catalyzed by enzymes known as glycosyltransferases.
A chemical equation is a shorthand description of a chemical reaction.
This chemical reaction is called dehydration.
A disaccharide results when two monosaccharides join together.
When two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration synthesis reaction, a disaccharide molecule is formed. This type of reaction involves the removal of a water molecule, leading to the joining of the monosaccharides through a glycosidic bond.
