During a dehydration synthesis reaction, monosaccharides are joined to form a disaccharide (or larger polysaccharide) and water is released (removed).
Example: glucose + fructose → sucrose + H2O. The reaction forms a glycosidic bond between the sugars; the -OH from one sugar and an H from the other combine to make water.
