What do monosaccharide and monosaccharide makes?

Two monosaccharides bond together through a dehydration reaction to form a disaccharide. Water is released during this process. For example, glucose + fructose forms the disaccharide sucrose.


What bonds form between monosaccharides during the formation of a disaccharide?

A glycosidic bond forms between monosaccharides during the formation of a disaccharide. This bond is created through a dehydration reaction, where a hydroxyl group from one monosaccharide combines with the anomeric carbon of another monosaccharide, releasing a molecule of water in the process.


What functional group links to monosaccharides in a disaccharide?

The functional group that links monosaccharides in a disaccharide is the glycosidic bond. It forms between the anomeric carbon of one monosaccharide and a hydroxyl group of another monosaccharide, resulting in the formation of a covalent bond.

When does a disccharide form?

A disaccharide forms when two monosaccharide molecules undergo a dehydration synthesis reaction, in which a water molecule is removed, leaving a covalent bond between the two monosaccharides. This process typically occurs during carbohydrate digestion and synthesis.


How are machanical and chemical weathering different?

Mechanical weathering is a process which physically changes the appearance of a rock or structure. Chemical weathering is a process which changes the chemical composition of a rock or structure.


Only 1 water molecule is added during the process of disaccharides change back to monosaccharide?

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.
