Question

multiple choice question
sucrose or table sugar is formed when the simple sugars fructose and glucose are covalently bonded. this reaction releases water. what is the name of this type of reaction?
dehydration synthesis
hydrolytic synthesis
monomeric flexion
catabolic synthesis

Explanation:

Dehydration synthesis is a reaction where two molecules are joined together with the release of water. In this case, fructose and glucose form sucrose with water being released, which is characteristic of dehydration synthesis. Hydrolytic synthesis is not a standard term; hydrolysis is the opposite of dehydration synthesis. Monomeric flexion is not related to this reaction type. Catabolic synthesis is a mis - combination of catabolic (breaking down) and synthesis (building up) terms.

Answer:

A. dehydration synthesis
