Detailed explanation-1: -Disaccharides form when two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction (a condensation reaction); they are held together by a covalent bond.
Detailed explanation-2: -Disaccharides are formed when a dehydration reaction occurs between two monosaccharides. Notice that the two monosaccharide units are joined by an ether linkage. One of the most common disaccharides is sucrose, which is composed of one glucose and one fructose molecule.
Detailed explanation-3: -Disaccharides form when two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction to form a covalent bond known as a glycosidic bond. Maltose is composed of two molecules of glucose joined by an -1, 4-glycosidic linkage. It is a reducing sugar that is found in sprouting grain.
