Disaccharides and the Glycosidic Bond
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A disaccharide forms when two monosaccharides join through dehydration synthesis, connected by a covalent glycosidic bond.
Show
Sucrose, table sugar, is a disaccharide formed when a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule join through a glycosidic bond.
