Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The reaction that links two monosaccharides together is called dehydration synthesis. During this type of reaction one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms are removed from the monosaccharides as water. To dehydrate means to remove water, so this type of reaction removes one water molecule.
Detailed explanation-2: -Disaccharides form when two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction (a condensation reaction); they are held together by a covalent bond. Sucrose (table sugar) is the most common disaccharide, which is composed of the monomers glucose and fructose.
