A disaccharide is formed when two monosaccharides react by ________ reaction.
Options
- Apolymerization
- Bhydrogenation
- Ccondensation
- 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.
