A disaccharide is formed when two monosaccharides react by ________ reaction.

Options

  1. Apolymerization
  2. Bhydrogenation
  3. Ccondensation
  4. Disomerisation

Correct answer

C. condensation

Step-by-step solution

A disaccharide is formed when two monosaccharides are joined together by a glycosidic linkage. This linkage is formed by the loss of a water molecule from the two monosaccharides. Reactions in which two molecules combine to form a larger molecule with the elimination of a small molecule such as water are known as condensation reactions. Answer: condensation
