Question

Ring structure of alpha glucose.What type of bomd is present between two glucose units

Answer 1

Glycosidic bonds

When two glucose molecules come together, the two hydroxyl groups line up alongside each other: one combines with a hydrogen atom from the other to form water, in turn forming an oxygen bridge across the two molecules, bonding them and creating a disaccharide- this bond is called a glycosidic bond.
