In a condensation reaction linking two monosaccharides, the chemical bond formed and the byproduct released are, respectively,

A. Peptide bond and water
B. Glycosidic bond and water
✓
C. Ester bond and water
D. Glycosidic bond and carbon dioxide

📝 Explanation

The formation of a disaccharide involves the removal of a water molecule (dehydration synthesis) to form a glycosidic linkage between two monosaccharides. A peptide bond links amino acids, and an ester bond links fatty acids to glycerol.
