Section A. Figure 11. Glycosidic bond is formed when two sugars are joined together via alpha-linkage (A) or beta-linkage (B) and a molecule of water is removed. The two monosaccharides are bonded via a dehydration reaction (also called a condensation reaction) that leads to the loss of a molecule of water and formation of a glycosidic bond.
