Glucose + fructose sucrose
4 of 8 QUESTION
Lysine (amino acid) + serine (amino acid) + glycine (amino acid) → polypeptide
Triglyceride three fatty acids + glycerol

Answer 1

The reactions that are condensation reactions are:

• Deoxyribonucleic acid → five-carbon sugar + phosphate group + nitrogen base
• Glucose + fructose → sucrose
• Lysine (amino acid) + serine (amino acid) + glycine (amino acid) → polypeptide

Step-by-step explanation:

In a condensation reaction, two molecules combine to form a larger molecule, and a smaller molecule, such as water, is released as a by-product.
