Glycosidic bond formation. These occur on the so called or 'hemiacetal' (or 'hemiketal') carbon which is a carbon bonded to both an -OH group and an -O-R group found in sugars in their ring form. These carbons are highly reactive and attack the C'-OH bond of another sugar (or any compound with such a bond) forming a 'acetal' (or 'ketal') group which is a carbon bonded to two -O-R groups and in the process condensing (water is a byproduct of this reaction) the two sugars together (Now R-O-C-O-C'-R) into one disaccharide or polysaccharide.
Note:
C - Carbon on sugar one.
C' - Carbon sugar two.

2 sugars linked by a covalent bonds is what?
Carbohydrates consisting of two to ten simple sugars are called oligosaccharides, and those with a larger number are called polysaccharides.
What is the ratio of atoms found in all carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are generally made of monosaccharides (i.e. simple sugars), like glucose (C6H12O6). As a result, the ratio of elements for carbohydrate sugars (C:H:O) would be 1:2:1.
What 2 process can photosynthesis be separated into?
The taking in of sunlight to make sugars and starches & the taking in of carbon dioxide and the giving out of oxygen.
Does rice contain sugars?
yes it does have sugarWheat, Rice, and all grains contain complex carbohydrates.Essentially a carbohydrate is a long chain of sugars, but they take time to digest unlike simple sugars (1 and 2 elements called monosaccharides & disaccharides) that essentially enter the blood immediately after ingestion and are available for use by the body. The carbohydrates don't have the sweet flavor of their constituent sugars either.Milk contains a large amount of lactose, a disaccharide.Not all starches are the same. Amylose is a type of starch that is slower for the body to digest (convert to simple sugars) than other types of starches. Long grain rices tend to have higher amylose contents than short grain rices, and thus are digested slower and have a lower immediate availability of sugars.There is a natural enzymatic method called Malting, or the production of Malt Syrup that uses heat and natural enzymes to break existing complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Barley and Rice Malts are common. Barley Malt, of course, can be used as a natural sweetener, or in the production of alcohol.Likewise, Rice Malts can be used as sweeteners, or potentially in alcohol production, although apparently the production of Sake uses a mold mediated step called Koji for the purpose of converting the starches into simple sugars for brewing.
What do you make when 2 single sugars are joined together?
A complex sugar.
Can monosaccharide be hydrolyzed?
Monosaccharides are simple sugars. They are carbohydrates and one class of carbs is simple sugars and the 2 parts of simple sugars are mono- and di- saccharides
What are 2 examples of monosaccharides?
simple sugars and glucose.
What is a chain of more than 2 simple sugars bound together?
compound
What are the two Subgroups for carbohydrates?
Carbohydrate type molecules can be divided into two chief sub-classifications. These are simple and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are sugars, and complex can be healthy starches as found in vegetables.
2 sugars linked by a covalent bonds is what?
Carbohydrates consisting of two to ten simple sugars are called oligosaccharides, and those with a larger number are called polysaccharides.
What sugars are?
Complex sugars are compounds made up of 3 or more simple sugars. For example, glucose is a monosaccharide (1 sugar) Lactose is a disaccharide (made up of 2 sugars) Amylose is a polysaccharide (thousands of sugars in the chain) so it is considered a "complex" sugar. Glucose is one of the sugars that usually makes up a "complex" sugar.
What do complex carbohydrates breakdown into?
simple sugars known as saccharides. monosaccharide - 1 disaccharide - 2 polysaccharide - 3 or more
What are facts about fermentation?
it uses yeast, there is lactos and alcohol as the main 2
What is the ratio of atoms found in all carbohydrates?

What are the types of carbohydrate?
There are 2 types of carbohydrates :- 1) Starch 2) Naturally occurring sugars which include glucose, lactose, sucrose and maltose.
What are 2 sugars present in monosacchride?
A monosacchride is a simple sugar. Glucose (C6H12O6) is considered to be a monosaccahride. Two monosacchrides make a disacchride.
What 2 process can photosynthesis be separated into?
The taking in of sunlight to make sugars and starches & the taking in of carbon dioxide and the giving out of oxygen.
