How many water molecules are lost during the synthesis of 10 monosaccharides?

Answer 1

Synthesis of a polysaccharide from 10 monosaccharides?
9 molecules of water are "lost"

In breaking off 10 monosaccharides from a polysaccharide, it takes 10 water molecules to hydrolyze. If it is a 10-monosaccharide polysaccharide, then only 9.

Answer 2

Nine molecules of water are lost. Write the glucose molecules out. Take out the water molecules between them.

G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G -9* ===> GGGGGGGGGG
