Sugars can link by ether bonds {glycosidic bond}. In glycosidic bonds, carbonyl-carbon hydroxyl leaves with hydrogen atom from other-sugar hydroxyl, forming water. Then other-sugar hydroxyl oxygen binds to carbonyl carbon. First-sugar carbonyl is on either first or second carbon. Other-sugar carbon is fourth or sixth carbon. Glycosidic bonds break by hydrolysis.
