The process of bonding two monosaccharides together is called a glycosidic bond formation. This involves the loss of a water molecule and results in the formation of a disaccharide. It is a condensation reaction.

What the difference between a polysaccharide and a monosaccharide?

A monosaccharide is made of a single carbohydrate molecule i.e. simple aldehyde or ketone molecules. Monosaccharides are called so because these simple sugars can't be further hydrolyzed but a polysaccharide is composed of many monosaccharides i.e. polysaccharide is polymer of 2 or more monosaccharide and are broken down into these simpler components through hydrolysis. Monosaccharides are sweet in taste but polysaccharides are tasteless. Monosaccharides have general formula Cn(H2O)n while polysaccharides have (C6H10O5)n.

What 2 molecules bond together to form a disaccharide?

Fructose and Glucose bond together to form disaccharide.


What process do sugar molecules enter or exit a cell?

1. Sugar (sucrose) cannot penetrate the cells and cannot be absorbed in blood because this disaccharide molecule is too big. 2. After the degradation of the disaccharide to monosaccharides (fructose, glucose, etc.) with the help of the enzyme sucrase these monosaccharides are easily absorbed in blood. 3. The monosaccharides molecules can penetrate by diffusion.
