Which word equation summarizes the dehydration of a carbohydrate?
1 answer:
Answer:
The word Glycosydic linkage summarizes the dehydration of carbohydrate.
Explanation:
Dehydration means elimination of water. During glycosydic linkage two Monosaccharides are linked with each other by the elimination of one molecule of water.
For exam in maltose two glucose molecules are linked with each other in which the -OH group of C4 atom of one glucose molecule interact with the -OH group of C1 carbon of another glucose molecule resulting in the formation of Alpha 1,4 glycosydic bond.
