The covalent bond formed between two monosaccharides is called?
Correct answer: A. Glycosidic bond
- A. Glycosidic bond
- B. Hydrogen bond
- C. Peptide bond
- D. Disulphide bond
Explanation
A glycosidic bond is a type of covalent bond that links a carbohydrate molecule to another group, which can be another carbohydrate or a non-carbohydrate moiety. This bond forms through a condensation reaction, also known as dehydration synthesis, where a water molecule is eliminated.

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.
