Question

Which bond is present between adjacent glucose units in polysaccharides?

Answer 1

Polysaccharides:

1. Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrates composed of long chains of monosaccharide units joined by glycosidic linkages.
2. A glycosidic bond connects two glucose molecules in a polysaccharide.
3. The procedure of dehydration creates this bond.
4. An ester bond exists between phosphate as well as a pentose sugar molecule in a nucleotide.
5. In a protein molecule, hydrogen bonds exist between consecutive amino acids.
6. Between nucleotides on opposite strands of a DNA molecule, hydrogen bonds exist.
