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