Question

Which of the following bond is formed during the condensation of monosaccharides?

• A. Covalent bond
• B. Glycosidic bond
• C. Peptide bond
• D. Ionic bond

Answer 1

The correct option is B Glycosidic bond

A. A covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between the atoms.

B. A glycosidic bond is a kind of covalent linkage by which two monosaccharides are joined together. Whenever a glycosidic bond is formed, there is the elimination of a water molecule similar to the formation of a peptide bond. These reactions are called dehydration or condensation reactions.

C. A peptide bond is formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid.

D. An ionic bond is formed due to electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

So, the correct answer is 'Glycosidic bond'.
