Expert Answer:
4 grams of glucose needed by brain per hour.
When two glucose molecules come together, the two hydroxyl groups line up along side each other: one combines with a hydrogen atom from the other to form water, in turn forming an oxygen bridge across the two molecules, bonding them and creating a disaccharide- this bond is called a glycosidic bond.
