Disaccharides, formed from two monosaccharides linked by dehydration synthesis (C12H22O11), can be broken apart through hydrolysis.
Disaccharides are formed by joining two monosaccharides via dehydration synthesis, yielding a formula of C12H22O11. They can be broken down by hydrolysis.

| Back | - Two monosaccharides joined by dehydration synthesis - C12H22O11 - glucose + glucose = maltose + water - glucose + galactose = lactose + water (milky way galaxy) - glucose + fructose = sucrose + water (fruit is sweet) - Di's can be broken apart by hydrolysis (inserting water) |
