Question

It is a dehydration synthesis reaction only It is a both a hydrolysis and a dehydration synthesis reaction. It requires enzymes it is a net energy requiring reaction It is a net energy releasing reaction 4) How many water molecules would be have to be added to the 29 molecule polymer to break it down to its 29 monomer subunits? Numerical answer only (e.g. 2, 5, 10, etc). Do not write out the number( e.g. two, five, ten, etc.) 5) The reaction described in question #4 above would be a nydrolyais reaction Functional Groups The graphic below shows the structural formula for 4 organic molecules (A-E). C. 4 Diu 3 5 6 8 9 0

Explanation / Answer

4) 28 water molecules

To break the bond between 2 molecules we need 1 water molecule. when the number of molecules increases the formula for Number of water molecule = Number of molecules in chain - 1.

5) Hydrolysis reaction

Hydrolysis reaction is the reaction in which water is used to break the bond between two molecule. In the above question a polymer is breaking down into its monomeric subunits.

Whiile dehydration synthetic reaction is completely reverse of Hydrolysis. It involves the addition of two molecules by the removal of one water molecule.
