In the reaction above, two glucose monomers combine to form the dimer maltose.
Which of the following best explains the process of this reaction?

Dehydration synthesis takes place in this dimer formation.

Explanation:

Dehydration synthesis reaction occurs to form maltose from two monomers of glucose.

The bonds formed between two monomers is covalent in which a water molecule is released.

In the reaction between two glucose molecules on molecule of glucose contributes its OH group while other molecule gives H group and together a water molecule gets released and maltose is formed.

The pattern of bonding and whether the dimer or polymer is chained or linear determines its physical and chemical properties even if the monomeric units are same.

C6H11O5OH + H06H11C6    ⇒     C12H22O11 + H20

GLUCOSE        GLUCOSE            MALTOSE

ask your friends for what they got then copy it down if you don't have any friends which is fine than google it or pay the teacher
