Best Answer

The number of water molecules required is equal to the number of peptide bonds that need to be broken. In a polypeptide of 9 amino acids, there are 8 peptide bonds between them. You therefore need 8 molecules of water to hydrolyse those bonds.

In the process of photosynthesis, the equation is

12 H2O + 6 CO2 --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H20 (sometimes the equation is simplified to disregard the water product and reduce the 12 to a 6)

Each monosaccharide, or C6H12O6 (fructose, glucose) needs 12 molecules so in total 120 are used, but 60 are regained, so a net value of 60 is lost.

When one amino acid synthesizes with another one water molecule is lost or given up. So, the answer is 100.
