When two glucose (C6H12O6) molecules are combined to form a molecule of maltose (C12H22O11), the formula of maltose is not C12H24O12 because:
Correct answer: C. Dehydration synthesis takes place
- A. Hydrolysis takes place
- B. Transpiration takes place
- C. Dehydration synthesis takes place
- D. Water is added
Explanation
Dehydration synthesis involves removing a water molecule to join two molecules, which is why the formula of maltose is C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
