The decomposition of any nutrient is called hydrolysis, in which a molecule of water is broken and "caps" the ends of the two monomers. The opposite of hydrolysis is called a condensation (or dehydration) reaction.

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.
What are monosaccharides and disaccharides and polysacharides?
Carbohydrates Monosaccharides and disaccharides are what kind of molecules? Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates, disaccharides are carbohydrates composed of 2 monosaccharides.
For carbohydrates to be oxidized or burned for energy they must first be broken down to what?
monosaccharides
What are simple sugars known as?
They are sugars that the body can use directly, unlike complex sugars which the body has to first break down. Glucose is an example.
Can compounds be broken down into their component elements?
Yes they can, compounds can break down into their component elements under certain environmental temperatures.
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 are the carbohydrates called when broken down into smaller molecules?
Carbohydrates are generally broken down into glucose which your cells use as fuel. They can also be broken down into fructose and galactose.

What are disaccharides broken down into?
monosacchrides
Disaccharides can be broken down into what?
A carbohydrase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates in the small intestine. The carbohydrases break down carbohydrates into simple sugars.
How are sugars formed and broken down?
sugar is formed by disaccharides and broken down by water or 20 hydrogen
What are three types of polysaccharides?
The three major types of carbohydrates are sugar, starch, and fiber. Carbohydrates are further broken down into five categories: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides and nucleotides.
What is polysaccharides broken down into?
This is an example of hydrolosis; a decoposition using water, or H2O.
Are monosaccharides broken down in cellular respiration to produce energy?
Yes.
Lipids are digested into what end products?
Monosaccharides.
What is the smallest subunit into which starch can be broken down?
monosaccharides (simple sugars such as glucose)
