Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The products of hydrolysis are:
A
two monomers
B
a polymer and water
C
two polymers
D
a hydroxyl group and a H atom
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -1: Hydrolysis reaction generating un-ionized products.: In the hydrolysis reaction shown here, the disaccharide maltose is broken down to form two glucose monomers with the addition of a water molecule. One glucose gets a hydroxyl group at the site of the former covalent bond, the other glucose gets a hydrogen atom.

Detailed explanation-2: -Basic hydrolysis gives a salt of the carboxylic acid and ammonia or an amine.

Detailed explanation-3: -These are a polymer consisting of monomers known as monosaccharides. Easy sugars such as glucose and fructose are such building blocks. Two fused monosaccharides make a disaccharide.

Detailed explanation-4: -’ There are three types of hydrolysis reactions: salt, acid, and base reactions. A salt hydrolysis involves the reaction between organic compounds and water. Acid and base hydrolysis involve the use of water as a catalyst to drive the hydrolysis reaction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Monomers are atoms or small molecules that bond together to form more complex structures such as polymers. There are four main types of monomer, including sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, and nucleotides.
