What must be removed from the glucose molecules in order to have them easily fit together?
The glucose molecules can be joined together to form a small part of a starch molecule by removing a water molecule between the glucose molecules. 13.
What is removed to join the two molecules together?
The removal of a hydrogen from one monomer and the removal of a hydroxyl group from the other monomer allows the monomers to share electrons and form a covalent bond. Thus, the monomers that are joined together are being dehydrated to allow for synthesis of a larger molecule.
Do the glucose and fructose fit easily together to form a sucrose molecule?
Terms in this set (32) What do the lines between the O and H in each structural formula represent? Do the glucose and fructose fit easily together to form a sucrose molecule? The -OH and the -H ends that are removed can also fit together with each other to form a molecule.
What splits the bonds in a starch chain and becomes part of the separate glucose molecules?
Amylase breaks down starch (both amylose and the straight chain sections of amylopectin) into maltose (a disaccharide composed of 2 glucose units linked by 1 alpha 4 glycosidic bonds) by adding -H and -OH from water across the glycosidic bonds.
What molecule must be removed to join monosaccharides?
The joining of monosaccharides into a double sugar happens by a condensation reaction, which involves the elimination of a water molecule from the functional groups only. Breaking apart a double sugar into its two monosaccharides is accomplished by hydrolysis with the help of a type of enzyme called a disaccharidase.
What is the process that causes the 2 molecules of glucose and fructose to join?
Disaccharides form when two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction (a condensation reaction); they are held together by a covalent bond. Sucrose (table sugar) is the most common disaccharide, which is composed of the monomers glucose and fructose.
When glucose and fructose are used to make sucrose The process is termed and a molecule of water must be removed?
The two monosaccharides are bonded via a dehydration reaction (also called a condensation reaction or dehydration synthesis) that leads to the loss of a molecule of water and formation of a glycosidic bond.
