Question

Describe using a diagram how hydrolysis of maltose occurs and why water is needed.

Accepted Answer

Hydrolysis:Water is needed to break the glycosidic bond between the two glucoses After bond is broken, OH (from water) binds to carbon 1 of first glucoseRemaining H atom binds to carbon 4 of second glucose so water gets used up and becomes part of the monosaccharides
