Glycosidic bond

Vedclass · Answer

(B) Carbohydrates,specifically disaccharides and polysaccharides,are formed by the linkage of monosaccharide units. These monosaccharide units are joined together by a covalent bond known as a glycosidic bond. $A$ glycosidic bond is formed between the anomeric carbon of one sugar molecule and a hydroxyl group of another sugar molecule through a dehydration synthesis reaction (loss of a water molecule). Therefore,the correct option is $B$.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(1)$ $C_n(H_2O)_m$	$(a)$ Monosaccharide
$(2)$ $C_n(H_2O)_{n-1}$	$(b)$ Polysaccharide
$(3)$ $C_n(H_2O)_n$	$(c)$ Carbohydrate
$(4)$ $n(C_5H_{10}O_5)$	$(d)$ Disaccharide
