a disaccharide is formed in a condensation reaction; a water molecule is lost.
sucrose is formed when fructose and glucose join by 1,2-glycosidic bond
lactose is formed when galactose and glucose join by 1,4-glycosidic bond
maltose is formed when glucose and glucose join by 1,4-glycosidic bond
hydrolysis breaks the glycoside bond (a molecule of water is added) which's catalysed by an enzyme.
