2 monosaccharides joining releases 1 water molecule.
During dehydration synthesis, a molecule of water is removed as two monosaccharides join together to form a disaccharide. In the case of joining 5 monosaccharides to form a polysaccharide, four water molecules would be removed in total. A covalent bond, known as a glycosidic bond, forms between the monosaccharides to create the polysaccharide.
The bond that links monosaccharides in di- and polysaccharides is a glycosidic bond. This bond forms through a condensation reaction where a water molecule is released as two monosaccharides join together.
Three molecules of water are released when the four glucose molecules are joined.
The monomer of carbohydrates is monosaccharides, such as glucose, fructose, and galactose. These monosaccharides can join together through glycosidic bonds to form larger carbohydrate molecules like disaccharides and polysaccharides.
A molecule of water is lost during the process of dehydration synthesis, which binds two monosaccharides together.

Carbohydrates Monosaccharides and disaccharides are what kind of molecules? Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates, disaccharides are carbohydrates composed of 2 monosaccharides.
Dehydration synthesis is a chemical reaction in which a water molecule is removed to bond two molecules together. In the case of joining four glucose molecules to form a polysaccharide, a water molecule is removed from each glucose molecule to form glycosidic bonds between them, resulting in the release of four water molecules.
Monosaccharides are converted into polysaccharides through a process called condensation reactions, where multiple monosaccharide molecules join together to form glycosidic bonds. This process requires the removal of a water molecule for each bond formed. Polysaccharides like starch, glycogen, and cellulose are formed by linking together large numbers of monosaccharide units in this way.
When two monosaccharides join to form a disaccharide through a condensation reaction, a molecule of water is removed, not added. This process occurs through the formation of a glycosidic bond between the two monosaccharides.
Dehydration synthesis occurs to form larger molecules by removing water molecules from smaller molecules. This process helps to bond monomers together to form polymers, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates.
This isn't really a question, but ... When two monosaccharide molecules join to form one disaccharide molecule, a molecule of water is released. This is called a dehydration (or synthesis) reaction. So in the reverse reaction, when one disaccharide is broken down into two monosaccharides, a molecule of water must be added. This is called an hydrolysis reaction.
