For each of the fallowing, state the type of biochemical reaction (Redox,Condensation,hydrolysis, or neutralization) involved.
a) Glucose + galactose-->lactose+water
b)HCl+NaOH-->NaCl+H2O
i am reading over my notes and still don't understand how to work it out:(
can a chemist or someone that knows how to do this explain the steps how you get the answer

A. Condensation. A condensation is defined as a coupling of two molecules with the loss of a small molecule. In this case, the two monosaccharides are coupled to form a disaccharide with the loss of a small molecule (water). They are broken apart by hydrolysis (consumption of a water molecule).
B. Neutralization. No explanation is necessary.
