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 process, two glucose molecules undergo a reaction that results in the formation of a glycosidic bond, linking them together while also releasing a molecule of water (H₂O). This is a common process in the synthesis of polysaccharides like starch.
To produce starch, glucose molecules bond together and release a water molecule through which process?
