14 CHAPTER 1. LIFE AT THE MOLECULAR, CELLUAR AND TISSUE LEVEL• Disaccharides form when two monosaccharides join together in acondensation reaction.• Glucose + glucose ==> maltose (malt sugar) + water• Glucose + fructose ==> sucrose (cane sugar) + water• Glucose + galactose ==> lactose (milk sugar) + water• Polysaccharides form when three or more monosaccharides jointogether.• Polysaccharides include starch (stored in plants), cellulose (formspart of the cell wall in plants) and glycogen (stored in animals).1.1.3.3.2Figure X.
