Verified step by step guidance

Understand the basic concept: Monosaccharides are simple sugars that can be linked together to form more complex carbohydrates.

Identify the type of reaction: Monosaccharides are linked together through a dehydration synthesis reaction, which involves the removal of a water molecule.

Recognize the type of bond formed: The bond formed between monosaccharides during this reaction is called a glycosidic bond.

Differentiate between dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis: Dehydration synthesis involves the removal of water to form bonds, while hydrolysis involves the addition of water to break bonds.

Apply this knowledge to the options given: The correct answer is 'Dehydration synthesis ; Glycosidic' as it correctly describes the process and bond involved in linking monosaccharides.
