Where can you find glycosidic bonds?

Glycosidic bonds are found in carbohydrates, where they link monosaccharides to form disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. These bonds can be seen in molecules like sucrose (glucose and fructose) and starch (multiple glucose units). They are crucial for the structural integrity and energy storage functions of carbohydrates in living organisms. Additionally, glycosidic bonds can also be present in nucleic acids, linking sugar moieties to nitrogenous bases.


What types of bonds holds the DNA bases together?

Strong hydrogen bonds.


What type of bonds holds the bases together in pairs?

Hydrogen bonds hold the bases together in pairs in DNA. These bonds form between the nitrogenous bases adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine in a complementary manner, contributing to the overall stability and structure of the DNA molecule.


True or false Helicases unwind the double helix of DNA by breaking the nitrogen bonds that link the hydrogen bases?

False. Helicases unwind the double helix of DNA by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases, not the nitrogen bonds that link the bases.

Bases with hydrogen bonds are the links.


How many stolen bases did Barry Bonds have his rookie year?

What type of bonds for between the bases?

Hydrogen bonds form between the bases in DNA molecules. These bonds specifically link adenine with thymine, and guanine with cytosine in a complementary manner.


Do polypeptide bonds hold nitrogen bases together?

The nitrogen bases, adenine, uracil, guanine, thymine and cytosine are joined to each other via phosphodiester bonds. Hydrogen bonds hold the nitrogen bases in complementary DNA and RNA strands. Polypeptide bonds are formed between an amide and ketone, and these join amino acids in proteins. However, they do not hold nitrogen bases together.
