During the synthesis of sucrose from glucose and fructose, as shown in biochemical diagrams, what is the specific nature of the glycosidic bond?
Q1. During the synthesis of sucrose from glucose and fructose, as shown in biochemical diagrams, what is the specific nature of the glycosidic bond?
Answer: 1,2-glycosidic linkage
Explanation: Sucrose is formed by a 1,2-glycosidic linkage between glucose and fructose. 1,4-linkage is tempting as it is common in maltose and lactose.
