Detailed explanation-1: -Monosaccharides are bonded with each other through glycosidic linkage. This linkage is formed by the reaction of –OH groups of two monomer units with the elimination of water molecules. Formation of maltose is an example of a dehydration synthesis reaction.

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -A condensation reaction between two monosaccharides forms a glycosidic bond. Disaccharides are formed by the condensation of two monosaccharides: maltose is a disaccharide formed by condensation of two glucose molecules.
