Disaccharides
Definition
-is formed when two monosaccharides are joined together by a reaction known as a dehydration, or condensation, synthesis. In this type of reaction water is removed, thus the name "dehydration". A new molecule is formed or "synthesized" from the two previously separate ones.
-common example is sucrose or table sugar which is present in sugar cane, syrup, and some fruits
Term
Polysaccharides
Definition
-are made of many sugar molecules joined together by dehydration synthesis reactions. When many repeating units are joined together to make a large molecule, the resulting molecule is called a polymer.
