Question
The bond in disaccharides is referred to as: a. Peptide b. Esterific c. Glycosidic d. Monomorphic
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
A glycosidic bond is a covalent bond formed between two monosaccharides (simple sugars) to create a disaccharide or polysaccharide. Peptide bonds link amino acids, and ester bonds link fatty acids to glycerol in lipids.
Hint
Think 'glucose' and 'bond' – it's the bond that joins sugars.
