1. The reaction that breaks polysaccharides into monosaccharides is called hydrolysis. In hydrolysis, water molecules are used to break the glycosidic bond that holds the monosaccharides together in a polysaccharide.

To draw the two monosaccharides that make the disaccharide shown, we need to know the specific disaccharide. Could you please provide the disaccharide's name or chemical structure?
