  1. Question 1

    Q1. During the synthesis of a polysaccharide from glucose subunits, a specific metabolic process occurs. How is this process defined in relation to water?

    • A) It uses water to break bonds
    • B) It involves the removal of water
    • C) It is a catabolic process
    • D) It breaks down polymers

    Answer: It involves the removal of water

    Explanation: Condensation (dehydration) removes a water molecule to form a bond, while hydrolysis adds a water molecule to break a bond during digestion.
