Question

In maltose, glycosidic linkage is present between the two glucose units at positions(a) 1, 2
(b) 1, 1
(c) 1, 3
(d) 1,4

Answer 1

In maltose, two glucose units are joined by an α-1,4 glycosidic linkage, as stated earlier. Maltose comes from the hydrolysis of starch and is in turn hydrolyzed to glucose by maltase

Answer 2

Glycosidic Bonds could easily join 1 monosaccharide to another so Oligosaccharides has been mainly built by linkage of 2 or more monosaccharides by O-glycosidic bonds.

When 2 d-glucose residues are joined by a glycosidic linkage between the α-anomeric mainly forms with the C-1 on one sugar with the hydroxyl oxygen atom on C-4 of the adjacent sugar.
