monosaccharides and disaccharides are what kind of molecules
Maltose, another notable disaccharide, is made up of two glucose molecules. The two monosaccharides are bonded via a dehydration reaction (also called a condensation reaction or dehydration synthesis) that leads to the loss of a molecule of water and formation of a glycosidic bond.he most common types of disaccharidesâ sucrose, lactose, and maltose âhave twelve carbon atoms, with the general formula C 12 H 22 O 11. The differences in the disaccharides are due to atomic arrangements within the molecule.
