Polysaccharide
Maltose is formed when two glucose molecules are bond together. A water molecule is removed in this process. This type of reactions are called condensation reactions.
The process is dehydration+synthesis.
All of the decomposition reactions in an organism taken together is called catabolism, while the synthesis reactions are called anabolism.
dehydration - loss of water form something synthesis - making something (joining things together) form two or more components
Not all polymerisations can be called dehydration synthesis reactions. However it is a very common way in which polymers can be formed. One way monomer units can join together is by eliminating a small molecule such as water between them, hence dehydration. (Condensation is more usual). Synthesis means building up, so the polymer is built up by losing water.

fatty acids and glycerol
In chemistry, condensation reactions are when covalent bonds are formed between molecules and a water molecule is generated as a byproduct. The reverse of this process is hydrolysis, whereby water is consumed in order to cleave a covalent bond.
Maltose is formed when two glucose molecules are bond together. A water molecule is removed in this process. This type of reactions are called condensation reactions.
An example of dehydration synthesis would be two monosaccharide's joining together. For example, glucose and fructose. Another word for synthesis is combination.

Monosaccharides are joined together
The process of joining unit molecules or monemors together to produce polymers is called dehydration synthesis. The opposite of this (breaking poymers down to monemors) is called hydrolysis. hope this helped?
This type of reaction is named polymerization.
