Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When disaccharides are broken down into their monosaccharide components via enzymes, a water molecule is added. This process is called hydrolysis. It should not be confused with the process of dissolution, which happens when sugar is dissolved in water, for example.
Detailed explanation-2: -Disaccharides are those carbohydrates that on hydrolysis with acids or enzymes give two molecules of monosaccharides which can either be the same or different. The oxide linkage is formed after the loss of the water molecule and then the two monosaccharides are formed by that linkage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Maltose is converted to two molecules of glucose by the enzyme maltase, which hydrolyzes the glycosidic bond.
