Which reaction produces monosaccharides? dehydration synthesis of monosaccharides polymerization of polysaccharides dehydration synthesis of polysaccharides hydrolysis of polysaccharides

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is hydrolysis of poly saccharides

Explanation:

Polysaccharides are composed of numerous monosaccharides units joined with each other by glycosidic linkages.If the polysaccharides are treated with strong acids such as Hydrochloric acid or hydrolytic the glycosidic linkages are broken down resulting in the formation of monosaccharide constituents.

 For example homo polysaccharide plant poly saccharide starch is composed of glucose units linked with one another by α-1,4-glycosidic linkage.When starch is digested by amylase enzyme then hydrolysis of starch occur resulting in the formation of di saccharide maltose, dextrin and maltitriose which further undergo hydrolysis by the catalytic activity of various hydrolytic enzymes to generate momosaccharide sububits.
