A glucosidic bond is a covalent bond that connects two sugar molecules via a condensation reaction, resulting in the formation of a glycosidic linkage. It is commonly found in carbohydrates like disaccharides (e.g., sucrose) and polysaccharides (e.g., starch).

What type of bond holds two monomer together?

The alpha(1-4) glucosidic bond between two glucose monomeres to form linear chain of poly-glucose.[The alpha(1-6) bond between two glucose monomeres to form a branching point in the above, which is then called amylopectine]


Is a bond being created or broken in hydrolysis reaction?

bonds that hold monomer together. Like peptide bonds in protein and glucosidic bonds in complex sugars.


What glucose polymers cannot be digested by humans?

cellulose can not be digested by humans..because in human body there is no beta 1-4 glucosidase present.these beta glucosidase cleaves or degrade the glucosidic bond. though termites and cows can digest it and some symbiotic bacteria can digest it.


What kind of bond is used in polysaccharides plant polysaccharide and animal polysaccharide?

Polysaccharides in both plants and animals are typically formed by glycosidic bonds. These bonds are covalent bonds that join monosaccharide units together to form the long chains characteristic of polysaccharides.


What monosaccharides makes up sucrose. Give an a example?

Sucrose is formed by a glucose and a fructose residues linked by an alpha(1-2) glucosidic bond. Its chemical name is O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-2)-beta-D-fructofuranoside.


Which of the molecules above cannot be hydrolyzed by the digestive system of most animals starch glycogen sucrose or cellulose?

Cellulose cannot be hydrolyzed by the digestive system of most animals because they lack the necessary enzyme, cellulase, to break down its β-glucosidic bonds. While starch and glycogen can be digested by animals due to their α-glucosidic bonds, sucrose can be hydrolyzed by the enzyme sucrase. Therefore, cellulose is the molecule that most animals cannot digest.

The type of bond in which two atoms share electrons is called a covalent bond.


How many bonds are present in one double bond and one single bond?

In one double bond, there are 2 bonds (1 σ bond and 1 π bond), and in one single bond, there is 1 bond (1 σ bond). So in total, there are 3 bonds present (1 σ bond and 1 π bond from the double bond, and 1 σ bond from the single bond).


What is the difference between a double bond and triple bond?
