Question

Condensation of glucose molecules (C6H12O6)

Answer 1

Disaccharides are formed by the condensation reactions of two simple sugar molecules. Condensation is the loss of water in a chemical reaction. Two OH groups, one from each sugar molecule, come together to release water and form an oxygen bridge between. One of the OH groups is attached to the anomeric carbon (the carbon that has 2 oxygens bonded to it).
