Glycosidic bond is present between:
Correct answer: A. Monosaccharides
- A. Monosaccharides
- B. Carbon atoms
- C. Amino acids
- D. Fatty acids
Explanation
The correct answer is that a glycosidic bond is present between monosaccharides. Glycosidic bonds are specific to carbohydrates, linking simple sugars together to form more complex carbohydrates. Carbon atoms form various types of covalent bonds, but glycosidic bonds specifically refer to the linkage between sugars. Amino acids are linked by peptide bonds, which are different from glycosidic bonds, and fatty acids form ester bonds when creating lipids, not glycosidic bonds.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
