This isn't really a question, but ...

When two monosaccharide molecules join to form one disaccharide molecule, a molecule of water is released. This is called a dehydration (or synthesis) reaction.

So in the reverse reaction, when one disaccharide is broken down into two monosaccharides, a molecule of water must be added. This is called an hydrolysis reaction.

Why is this monosaccharide so important to our daily functioning?

Disaccharides are carbohydrates that are formed by the dehydration of two monosaccharide molecules, such that the active carbons of each are utilized in making the bond. Thus, the disaccharide is more stable than the monosaccharide being less reactive than the latter and less prone to chemical change.


When a molecule dissolves by ionization is that a physical or chemical change?

Dissolution is a physical process.


What is happening when a metal molecule releases energy?

When a metal molecule releases energy, it is undergoing a process called exothermic reaction. This means that the molecule is releasing heat or light energy as it undergoes a chemical change.


Molecular formula for disaccharide?

The molecular formula of a disaccharide not double because in order to form a disaccharide so you need to lose a molecule of water so there will be two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom less in the disaccharide.


What process primes a molecule to change in a way that increases its activity produces motion or does work?

The process you are referring to is called activation. Activation typically involves triggering a specific change in a molecule, such as a conformational change or post-translational modification, that enhances its activity, enables it to carry out a specific function, or interact with other molecules to produce motion or do work. This process is essential for various biological functions and cellular processes.

Explain why sublimation is regarded as a physical change but the slaking of lime is considered as a chemical change?

- Sublimation don't change the molecule; solid iodine or sublimated iodine are iodine. - Slaking of lime transform the calcium oxide in calcium hydroxide. A chemical change occur.
