A condensation reaction (aka dehydration synthesis).
Function and structure
mono
Give two characteristics of each mono saccharides and polysaccharides.
Yes they can be found. They are very common
Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen are present in all monosaccharides. In fact, they are present in ALL saccharides (mono, di, and poly)
glucose (dextrose),fructose (levulose),galactosexyloseribose
The building block of a carbohydrate is mono saccharides.
galactose and fructose
Simple sugars are called monomers which is mono saccharides.The mono saccharides for carbohydrates are glucose , fructose and glactose. Carbohydrates can also be Di saccharides which is sucrose , lactose.
disaccharide
Mono(single)-saccharides are single sugar units. with glucose and fructose being two examples of mono-saccharides. All carbohydrates are made up of linked mono-saccharides. and it is the type quantity and the way that they are linked which defines the type of carbohydrate and how your body reacts to it.
A molecule of water (H20) is produced.
