Question

Which process is involved in the formation of glycosidic bonds in a polysaccharide?

Answer 1

Dehydration:

1. Individual monosaccharides in a polysaccharide are joined by a glycosidic bond.
2. Dehydration results in the formation of bonds.
3. Glycosidic bonds are one type of covalent bond present in living organisms.
4. The loss of a water molecule is required for the formation of these bonds, and this process is known as dehydration reactions (also known as condensation reactions).
