condensation and hydrolysis reactions Flashcards
1
Q
what happens in a condensation reaction?
A
monomers join together by covalent bonds to form polymers or macromolecules. in this process H20 is removed
2
Q
what is the formula for a monomer+monomer+monomer during a condensation reaction?
A
polymer+2H20
3
Q
what happens in a hydrolysis reaction?
A
covalent bonds between polymers are broken as water is added
4
Q
what is the formula for a polymer+2H20?
A
monomer+monomer+monomer
5
Q
how is a glycosidic bond broken?
A
through hydrolysis
6
Q
how are glycosidic bonds formed?
A
through condensation
