Question

when glucous molecules link up what substance do they form?

Answer 1

Answer:

When two glucose molecules come together, the two hydroxyl groups line up alongside each other: one combines with a hydrogen atom from the other to form water, in turn forming an oxygen bridge across the two molecules, bonding them and creating a disaccharide- this bond is called a glycosidic bond.

When 2 monomers join together they form a disaccharide. "Di" means 2 and "saccharide" means sugar. What happens when 2 glucose (monosaccharides) molecules join together? 2 glucose molecules will join together through the process of dehydration synthesis to form Maltose (a disaccharide).
