Question

Write the open chain structure of monosaccharides produced on
hydrolysis of table sugar.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Monosaccharides are the simplest unit of carbohydrates. They're composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, and they cannot be broken down further since they are already in their simplest form. Their general formula is (CH2O)n, where n is any number equal or greater than 3.The reverse reaction in which the polysaccharide or disaccharide is broken down into their constituent monomeric sugars is known as hydrolysis because a water molecule is needed to cleave the glycosidic bond.
