This means the reaction synthesizes polymers from monomers simply by removing water, in order for this to happen an enzyme must be present in the cell.

What kind of reaction will join two monosaccharides to form a disaccharide and join disaccharides to form polysaccharides?

The reaction is called "Dehydration Synthesis".


What type of reaction and resulting bond links monosaccharides together to form a polysaccharide?

Monosaccharides are combined to make disaccharides and polysaccharides through dehydration synthesis, which is an anabolic reaction that requires energy to build the bonds, and water is removed from the bonds and released into the environment.


When does a disccharide form?

A disaccharide is formed from two monosaccharides by a reaction called dehydration synthesis.


What is the reaction that links two monosaccharides together?

Monosaccharides are bonded together through the process of dehydration synthesis.


Which metabolic reaction creates proteins and polysaccharides?

Polysaccharides are formed by dehydration synthesis, while proteins are made from amino acids in translation.


What reaction produced monosaccharides?

Hydrolysis of polysaccharides is the reaction that produces monosaccharides.

When two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration synthesis reaction which type of molecule is formed?

There are a few! A double sugar is called a disaccharide. :) Lactose is one. (This is formed by the synthesis of galactose and glucose, which are monosaccharides.) Maltose is another. (It is formed by two glucose hooking up.) Sucrose is yet another. (Formed by fructose and glucose.) They are all formed through the removal of water, or dehydration synthesis. Hope this helps!!


What is a chemical reaction used by cells to make proteins nucleic acids and polysaccharides in which smaller molecules are joined together by removing an H and an OH to make a water molecule?

This reaction is a dehydration synthesis.


What chemical reaction occurs to form disaccharides?

A disaccharide is formed when two monosaccharides are joined together by a reaction known as a dehydration, or condensation, synthesis. In this type of reaction water is removed, thus the name "dehydration". A new molecule is formed or "synthesized" from the two previously separate ones.


What occurs when two glucose molecules are chemically bonded and form of maltose?

The process known as dehydration synthesis occurs to join two glucose molucules. As they join, an OH- molecule joins with a Hydrogen to form H20 ( water). The water molecule leaves the new maltose molecule.


What chemical reaction form polysaccharides?

Dehydration reaction because it removes the water.
