Detailed explanation-1: -Five molecules of water are produced from this reaction. Monomers are joined through condensation reactions (in this case, a dehydration condensation reaction). Water is a product of the reaction; one water is produced for every bond that is formed. Therefore, six adjoined monomers release five molecules of water.
Detailed explanation-2: -One water molecule is needed to break each bond present between two adjacent monomers in a polymer during hydrolysis.
Detailed explanation-3: -How many water molecules would be produced in the dehydration synthesis of a polysaccharide consisting of 5 glucose monomers? Altogether four (4) water molecules would be produced.
Detailed explanation-4: -The name “saccharide” is derived from the Greek, meaning sugar. Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates and are composed of a single molecule or subunit. The disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharides linked together, and polysaccharides are composed of 3 or more monosaccharides linked together.
