i dont know yet

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When two simple sugars (monosaccharides) combine to form a disaccharide, a dehydration - synthesis reaction occurs. In this reaction, a water molecule is removed as a covalent bond forms between the two monosaccharides, creating a more complex molecule.
