1. The enzyme sucrase breaks the disaccharide into two monosaccharides: glucose , or sugar, and , or sugar. 2. Where does this reaction occur? 3. For hydrolysis to occur, the sucrose must bind to what part of the sucrase enzyme? 4. What happens to the enzyme when this occurs? What happens to the sucrose? 5. What molecule breaks the bond? Do you see why the process is called hydrolysis? hydro = water and lysis = to break. The bond is broken by water. 6. After the bond is broken and the two monosaccharides are released, what happens to the enzyme? 7. How many times can this process be repeated? 8. What three events can occur to end this process?
