Explanation:

Question 20

The diagram shows two monosaccharides (simple sugar molecules) combining to form a larger molecule (a disaccharide) with the removal of a water molecule ($H_2O$). This process is called dehydration synthesis (or condensation reaction), and it synthesizes larger molecules by joining monomers.

The diagram shows a larger molecule (a disaccharide) breaking down into two smaller monosaccharide molecules with the addition of a water molecule ($H_2O$). This process is called hydrolysis, and it breaks apart larger molecules into their monomer units.

Answer:

The diagram illustrates the process of dehydration synthesis (condensation reaction). This process \(\boldsymbol{\text{synthesizes}}\) larger molecules.
