Outline the role of condensation and hydrolysis in the relationships between monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides
A-Condensation (dehydration) reactions occur when molecules are covalently joined together and water is formed as a by-product
B-In carbohydrates, the bond that is formed is called a glycosidic linkage
C-The opposite of a condensation reaction is a hydrolysis reaction, which requires a water molecule to break a covalent bond between two subunits
D-Monosaccharides are single monomers that are joined to form disaccharides, while sugars containing multiple subunits (more than 10) are called polysaccharides
