Q. What is the difference between a glycosidic linkage and a peptide linkage?

Unbranched part of the glycogen molecule shows 1,6 linkage.

Match the List-I and List-II:

List I (Saccharides)	List II (Formed by)
(A) Sucrose	(i) $β$ -D glucose $C_{1} - C_{4}$ glycosidic linkage
(B) Lactose	(ii) $α$ -D glucose, $β$ -D fructose $C_{1} - C_{2}$ glycosidic linkage
(C) Cellulose	(iii) $β$ -D glucose, $β$ -D galactose $C_{1} - C_{4}$ glycosidic linkage

The statement 'Sucrose has

C_{1} - C_{2}

glycosidic linkage between

β

-D-Glucose &

α

-D-Fructose' is
