Title: Monosaccharides & Disaccharides: What reaction is it called when a disaccharide is broken down into 2 mono? Post by: SmokeyV4L on Nov 4, 2012 When a disaccharide is broken down into 2 monosaccharides, H20 is added. I need to know, what type of reaction is this?
Inversely (as help): Joining two monosaccharides to get a disaccharide, H20 is lost. This reaction is dehydration synthesis. (So, I assume the answer I'm looking for, is opposite of dehydration synthesis) Title: Monosaccharides & Disaccharides: What reaction is it called when a disaccharide is broken down into 2 mono? Post by: RN14 on Nov 4, 2012 I would say hydrolysis - definitely.
hydro = water lysis = splitting so splitting with water. Title: Monosaccharides & Disaccharides: What reaction is it called when a disaccharide is broken down into 2 mono? Post by: illicitf8 on Nov 4, 2012 hydrolysis is the breaking of two monosaccharides.
Combination synthesis is the forming of two monosaccharides |
