Monosaccharides have the general formula \(C_nH_{2n}O_n\), where n is typically 3 to 7.
A dehydration reaction joins two molecules by removing a water molecule.
Two monosaccharides join to form a disaccharide by removing H from one and OH from the other, releasing water.
A hydrolysis reaction breaks bonds by adding a water molecule, splitting a polymer into monomers.
A disaccharide splits into two monosaccharides by adding water, breaking the glycosidic bond.
A peptide bond is a covalent bond formed between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another.
By a dehydration reaction where H from the amino group and OH from the carboxyl group are removed as water.
