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.
