Glycosidic linkage between C1 of -glucose and C2 of -fructose is found in
Biomolecules · Class 12 · JEE Main Previous Year Question
Glycosidic linkage between of and of is found in
- a
Maltose
- b✓
Sucrose
- c
Lactose
- d
Amylose
Sucrose
Step 1: Disaccharide Linkages — Glycosidic bonds connect monosaccharide units. Maltose features an bond, while lactose features a bond.
Step 2: Sucrose Specificity — Sucrose is unique as it connects the anomeric carbon of glucose () to the anomeric carbon of fructose ().
Step 3: Conclusion — This specific linkage is the defining characteristic of sucrose, making it a non-reducing sugar.
Remember: When both anomeric carbons are involved in a linkage, the sugar becomes non-reducing.
