Welcome!
editHello, TJ.Jang, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Peer Review - Condensation Reaction
editEditing: Notes bolded in parentheses Monosaccharides are the basic unit of the carbohydrates and blocks(combine?condense? Blocks doesn't make sense) to build the (don't capitalize here, not proper noun) Oligosaccharides and Polysaccharides. Through the(replace with 'a', or a name) condensation reaction, (don't capitalize, check spelling, whole clause might be redundant, you already mentioned that monosaccharides combine to make larger sugars) Monosaccarides increase the weight of molecules and reach higher degree of polymerization, while losing water molecules. This is the(an) acid-catalyzed reaction and(that) produce(s) heavier carbohydrates
Peer Review: I don't know how useful it is to write out just short blurbs on each reaction when most of the examples you'd be giving probably already have larger articles on Wikipedia, it might be better just to link to those, so interested readers can read more if they want to but won't distract from the rest of the content. Some ideas for additional content/sections could be: history, commonalities in procedure, traits of condensation that make it ideal for polymerization, or the similarities that arise in mechanism and thermodynamics of condensation reactions.
