Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Monosaccharides are held together by
A
hydrogen bonds
B
glycosidic bonds
C
peptide bonds
D
ionic bonds
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Monosaccharides are joined together by covalent bonds, called glycosidic bonds. A glycosidic bond is formed via a condensation reaction, which is also called dehydration synthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -These two monosaccharides are held together by a glycosidie linkage between C1 of -glucose and C2 of -fructose. Since the reducing groups of glucose and fructose are involved in glycosidie bond formation, sucrose is a non reducing sugar.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sucrose is composed of −− D-glucose and −− D-fructose. These two monosaccharide units are held together by , -glycosidic linkage.
