When carbohydrate monomers are joined together, the process is identified as ___________ ______________, and when they are broken apart again it is called ___________.
A. hydrolytic bonding; degradation
B. hydrogen bonding; depletion
C. condensation synthesis; hydrolysis
D. polar synthesis; hydrolysis
E. condensation synthesis; anabolism
Answer (2)
C condensation synthesis and hydrolysis
The processes involved with carbohydrate monomers are known as condensation synthesis (or dehydration synthesis) when they are combined, and hydrolysis when they are broken apart. Condensation synthesis forms polymers by releasing water, while hydrolysis requires water to break down these polymers. Thus, the correct answer is C. condensation synthesis; hydrolysis.
