Which Type of Bond Joins Together Two Monosaccharides
Disaccharides form when two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction a condensation reaction. Monosaccharides are joined together by covalent bonds called glycosidic bonds.   	  		  		  		  	Reading Structure And Function Of Carbohydrates Biology I 	   			 		 Two monosaccharide molecules may chemically bond to form a disaccharide.  		  					  				 .  Monosaccharides such as glucose can be linked together in condensation reactions. This is a strong bond that involves the sharing of electrons. A peptide bond joins two amino acids together to form polypeptides. 			  					  				 These molecules bond together in a specific type of chemical reaction. Glycosidic bonds are the covalent bonds that link the two monosaccharides molecules in a carbohydrate. Three common examples are sucrose lactose and maltose. 			  					  				 First two monosaccharides are brought together such that two hydroxyl groups are close to each other. The two monosaccharides are bonded via a dehydration reaction al...
