Amino acids link together through dehydration synthesis, forming peptide bonds in a polypeptide chain. Disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharides, like sucrose, while polysaccharides consist of many monosaccharides, like starch. Glycosidic bonds form between monosaccharides during these reactions.
