HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Disaccharides are formed by the condensation reactions of two simple sugar molecules. Condensation is the loss of water in a chemical reaction. Two OH groups, one from each sugar molecule, come together to release water and form an oxygen bridge between.

Detailed explanation-2: -sucrose is a disaccharide formed by condensation of a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -The monosaccharide glucose can be used as a building block for more complex sugars and carbohydrates. Two glucose molecules can be linked together through a dehydration synthesis reaction to form a disaccharide called maltose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Condensation Reaction– Combining two molecules into a single molecule and releasing a small molecule such as water. Dehydration Reaction– A reaction in which one of the products is water. Often, a condensation reaction will be a dehydration reaction because it produces the small molecule water.
