Q18 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (25 Jul Shift 2) · Chemistry
Glycosidic linkage between of -glucose and of -fructose is found in
- AMaltose
- Correct answerB
Sucrose
- CLactose
- Damylose
Solution
Sucrose
Sucrose is composed of a molecule of glucose joined to a molecule of fructose by an -gIycosidic linkage.
Mannose is a sugar monomer of the aldohexose series of carbohydrates. It is a epimer of glucose.
Fructose, or fruit sugar, is a ketonic simple sugar found in many plants, where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose.
Lactose is composed of a molecule of galactose joined to a molecule of glucose by a -gIycosidic linkage. It is a reducing sugar that is found in milk.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
