When made from to monosaccharides: one water molecule

2 C6H12O6 --> C12H22O11 + H2O

However when made from CO2 and H2O by photosynthesis 11 molecules water are NEEDED!

12CO2 + 11H2O --> C12H22O11 + 12O2

If a molecule of glucose is C6H1206 what is the equation to show how two molecules of glucose are joined to form maltose?

C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 = C12H22O11 + H2O (as a result of dehydration synthesis)


What molecules is are lost when a triglyceride is formed?

Three molecules of water are lost when a triglyceride is formed. Each water molecule is released during the condensation reaction between a glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules to form a triglyceride.


How many kj of energy will be released when the bonds in the two moles of water molecules are formed?

The energy released when the bonds of two moles of water molecules are formed is approximately 94 kJ. This energy is released because the bonds formed in water are stronger than the bonds broken in its constituent elements, hydrogen and oxygen.


What is the simple formula of maltose?

Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose monosaccharides. One glucose is C6H12O6, so maltose is C12H22O11.


Is a mixture sugar water?

Yes, Heterogeneous Additional information: The sugar is dissolved in the water. This "mixture" consists of two different types of molecules (thus we call it a mixture): water molecules (H2O) and sugar molecules (one type of sugar is table sugar, C12H22O11)


How many water molecules are released when a fructose is formed?

When a fructose molecule is formed, 4 water molecules are released. This is due to the condensation reaction that occurs during the formation of the glycosidic bond between the fructose molecule and the other component of the disaccharide or polysaccharide.


When water turns to ice are new molecules formed?

The molecules in water are not tightly packed as such flow and spread very easily but when the water turns to ice the molecules in the liquid enlarge ans they tightly packed and thus, when water turns to ice new molecules are not formed.


When alcohol dissolved in water why temperature of alcohol is increased?

The hydrogen bonds between water molecules and respectively hydrogen bonds between ethanol molecules are broken by mixing; new hydrogen bonds are formed between water and ethanol molecules - this second process is exothermic.


What kind of molecule is formed when glucose an fructose are combined?

glucose and fructose can be combined into the disaccharide sucrose


Which one has more molecules 9 g of water or 9 g of suger (C12 H22 O11)?

Since the molecular mass of water is about 18 and the molecular mass of C12H22O11 is about 342, it takes considerably more molecules of water to make up 9 g than molecules of C12H22O11 to get the same mass.


Why is water formed?

Water is formed due to the strong attraction between the hydrogen and oxygen molecules.


How many water molecules are formed in the electron transport chain?

During oxidative phosphorylation, which is part of the electron transport chain, a total of 6 water molecules are formed when oxygen is reduced to form water at the end of the chain.
