What type of bond is formed between two monosaccharides?
A
Ester bond
B
Glycosidic bond
C
Peptide bond
D
Double bond
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Disaccharides. Disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharide units linked together by a glycosidic bond. The most common glycosidic bonds connecting monosaccharide units are O-glycosidic bonds in which the oxygen from a hydroxyl group becomes linked to the carbonyl carbon.

Detailed explanation-2: -A glycosidic bond (also known as glycosidic linkage)is created when the hemiacetal of a saccharide (or a molecule generated from a saccharide) reacts with the hydroxyl group of another substance, such as alcohol.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are are two types of glycosidic bonds-1, 4 alpha and 1, 4 beta glycosidic bonds. 1, 4 alpha glycosidic bonds are formed when the OH on the carbon-1 is below the glucose ring; while 1, 4 beta glycosidic bonds are formed when the OH is above the plane.
