A reaction that involves the formation and removal of a molecule of water is called a condensation reaction.
An example:
Two glucose molecules combine. One sheds a hydroxyl group (-OH) and the other loses an atom of hydrogen (-H). These form water. The two glucose residues combine to form a molecule of maltose.
(Glucose molecules can combine in other ways to form other products.)
A water molecule is removed from two monosaccharides to form a disaccharide through a condensation reaction. This process joins the two monosaccharides together by forming a glycosidic bond between them.
A molecule formed by two monosaccharides is called a disaccharide. It is created through a dehydration reaction that joins the two monosaccharides together by a glycosidic bond. Examples of disaccharides include sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
Water molecules are joined together by hydrogen bonds, which form between the slightly negatively charged oxygen atom of one water molecule and the slightly positively charged hydrogen atom of another water molecule. This creates a network of interconnected water molecules, giving water its unique properties such as cohesion, high surface tension, and high specific heat capacity.
The bond that links monosaccharides in di- and polysaccharides is a glycosidic bond. This bond forms through a condensation reaction where a water molecule is released as two monosaccharides join together.
All polymers are formed from monomers joining together.
Yes, a dehydration reaction joins smaller molecules by removing a water molecule. This process results in the formation of larger molecules and the release of a molecule of water as a byproduct.
Pyruvate is a molecule that joins in a reaction to form acetyl-CoA through the process of pyruvate decarboxylation.
In the reaction that forms acetyl-CoA, the molecule that joins is pyruvate. This reaction occurs during the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria.
A condensation reaction joins molecules by removing a water molecule. This process involves bonding two molecules together, with one molecule contributing a hydroxyl group (-OH) and the other contributing a hydrogen atom (-H).
dehydration synthesis
citric acid
A condensation reaction joins two monosaccharides to form a disaccharide. In this reaction, a water molecule is eliminated as the two monosaccharides bond together through a glycosidic linkage.
The process that joins monomers in a disaccharide or polysaccharide is called dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction. In this process, a water molecule is removed as the monomers are joined together to form a larger sugar molecule.
When the condensation reaction joins two amino acids a dipeptide and a water molecule form.
When acetyl joins the 4-carbon molecule oxaloacetate, citrate is produced. This reaction is the first step in the citric acid cycle, which is a key pathway in cellular respiration for generating energy in the form of ATP.
When two glucose molecules are bonded together to form maltose, a disaccharide is created. This bond is a glycosidic bond, specifically an α-1,4-glycosidic bond, linking the two glucose molecules. Maltose is a type of sugar commonly found in grains and serves as a source of energy in the body.
