The covalent bond between two monosaccharides is called:
Correct answer: A. Glycosidic bond
- A. Glycosidic bond
- B. Peptide bond
- C. Ester bond
- D. Hydrogen bond
Explanation
The correct answer is a glycosidic bond. This is the type of covalent bond that specifically forms between two monosaccharides in carbohydrates. While peptide bonds link amino acids, ester bonds are found in lipids, and hydrogen bonds, although important in the structure of many biological molecules, do not form the primary bonds between monosaccharides.

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.
