Question
Which of the following carbohydrates has a glycosidic linkage?FructofuranoseGlucopyranoseMaltoseβ−D−fructose
Solution
Maltose has a glycosidic linkage. This is because maltose is a disaccharide, meaning it is composed of two monosaccharides. These two monosaccharides are connected by a glycosidic linkage. On the other hand, Fructofuranose, Glucopyranose, and β−D−fructose are all monosaccharides, which means they are single sugar units and do not have a glycosidic linkage.
