Consider the following reaction
C6H12O6+C6H12O6 -- C12H22O11
a.
The equation is not balanced; it is missing a molecule of water. Write it in on the correct side of the equation.
b.
so, what kind of reaction is this?
c.
is C6H12O6 (glucose) a monomer, or a polymer?
d.
To summarize, when two monomers are joined, a molecule of ___________ is always removed.
