What is the name of the bond that forms between monosaccharides in a disaccharide?
A
glycosidic bond
B
peptide bond
C
ester bond
D
glucose bond
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The formation of an acetal (or ketal) bond between two monosaccharides is called a glycosidic bond or glycosidic linkage. Therefore, disaccharides are sugars composed of two monosaccharide units that are joined by a carbon–oxygen-carbon linkage known as a glycosidic linkage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycosidic Bond Formation Two monosaccharide units can be joined together by a glycosidic bond-this is the fundamental linkage among the monosaccharide building blocks found in all oligosaccharides. The glycosidic bond is formed between the anomeric carbon of one monosaccharide and a hydroxyl group of another.

Detailed explanation-3: -A glycosidic bond or glycosidic linkage is a type of ether bond that joins a carbohydrate (sugar) molecule to another group, which may or may not be another carbohydrate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lactose is a disaccharide that has a B-1, 4 glycosidic bond.
