Answer:

c.The addition of a water molecule breaks a bond between sugar mono-mers.

Explanation:

Hydrolysis refers to reaction with water. When water molecules are added to carbohydrates, the bonds between the sugar monomers are broken. This is the chemical reaction known as hydrolysis reaction.

Generally, since carbohydrates are polymers we can say that hydrolysis reactions result in the breakdown of carbohydrate polymers into sugar monomers by using water molecules

Dimas [21]
