Answer: This is a type of condensation reaction.
Explanation: Condensation reactions are the reactions in which two small molecules combine to form a larger molecules producing a small molecule such as [tex]H_2O[/tex], [tex]CO_2[/tex] etc. as a byproduct.
Glucose([tex]C_6H_1_2O_6[/tex] and Fructose([tex]C_6H_1_2O_6[/tex]) are the simplest carbohydrates and when they combine to produce Sucrose([tex]C_1_2H_2_2O_1_1[/tex]) and release water([tex]H_2O[/tex]) as a byproduct.
[tex]C_6H_1_2O_6+C_6H_1_2O_6\overset{condensation}{\rightarrow}C_1_2H_2_2O_1_1+H_2O[/tex]
