The process through which glucose molecules bond together to form starch, releasing a water molecule in the process, is called condensation or dehydration synthesis. During this biochemical process, two glucose molecules undergo a reaction where a hydroxyl group (–OH) from one glucose combines with a hydrogen atom (–H) from another glucose, resulting in the formation of water (H₂O) and the creation of a glycosidic bond between the two glucose molecules. This process can be repeated to create longer chains of glucose, ultimately forming starch, which is a polysaccharide.
