What is the molecular formula for monosaccharides and disaccharides
mono- Cn H2n On
dis- C12 H22 O11
What is a condensation reaction
2 molecules are joined together by the removal of water
what is a hydrolysis reaction
a molecule is split into 2 smaller molecules with the addition of water

mono- Cn H2n On
dis- C12 H22 O11
what is a condensation reaction
when 2 molecules are joined together by removing water
what is a hydrolysis reaction
the splitting of a molecule into smaller ones with water
what is a monomer
a small molecule which binds to other identical molecules to form a polymer
what is a polymer
a large molecule made from many smaller molecules
what is an isomer
when molecules have the small formula but different structures
