condensation reaction
This is a socalled condensation reaction, more specific it is the disaccharide forming "acetal (α-1) to (2-β) ketal"-reaction in sucrose, which is therefor named:D-glucopyranosyl-α-(1→2)-β-D-fructofuranoside
The reverse reaction of a condensation reaction would be a hydrolysis reaction. In a condensation reaction, two molecules combine to form a larger molecule with the loss of a smaller molecule such as water. In a hydrolysis reaction, a larger molecule is broken down into smaller molecules through the addition of water.
Polymers are typically formed by condensation reactions, not hydrolysis. In a condensation reaction, monomers combine to form a polymer chain with the release of a small molecule like water. Hydrolysis, on the other hand, is the breakdown of polymers into monomers by the addition of water molecules.
The reaction that allows glucose and fructose to combine and form sucrose is called a condensation reaction. In this reaction, a water molecule is removed as the two monomers bond together to form a polymer.
A disaccharide is two monosaccharides bound together by an ether linkage. Therefore, the product of hydrolysis of a disaccharide is two monosaccharides, or simple sugars as they are usually called. One reason reactions such as this are called "hydrolysis" reactions is because the reaction requires one molecule of water. Sucrose, or table sugar or cane sugar, is a disaccharide. The reaction of the hydrolysis of sucrose is: Sucrose + H2O -----> Glucose + Fructose (The reaction is catalyzed by acid in a lab and by the enzyme Sucrase in the human body. The hydrolysis is imperceptibly slow without acid. That is why sucrose doesn't hydrolyze when it's dissolved in plain water.)

Dehydration Synthesis
The reaction that produces sucrose from glucose and fructose is a condensation reaction, where a molecule of water is eliminated as the two monosaccharides combine to form a disaccharide. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme sucrose synthase.
The reverse reaction of a condensation reaction would be a hydrolysis reaction. In a condensation reaction, two molecules combine to form a larger molecule with the loss of a smaller molecule such as water. In a hydrolysis reaction, a larger molecule is broken down into smaller molecules through the addition of water.
Hydrolysis or a hydrolytic is a reaction in which a water molecule i.e Sucrose, is needed to break up a complex molecule i.e glucose, into smaller molecule.
The products of a condensation reaction between glucose and fructose are sucrose and water. In this reaction, a glycosidic bond forms between the glucose and fructose molecules, resulting in the formation of the disaccharide sucrose. Water is also produced as a byproduct of the condensation reaction.
This reaction is called hydrolysis.
This reaction is called hydrolysis.
