Question

question 10 (1 point)
which glycosidic bond takes place in maltose?
β-galactosidic
β-glycosidic
α-glycosidic
none of the above

Explanation:

Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose units. The glycosidic bond in maltose is an α - glycosidic bond. It is formed between the C - 1 (anomeric carbon) of one glucose molecule (in α - configuration) and the C - 4 of another glucose molecule. β - galactosidic bonds are found in lactose (galactose - glucose linkage), and β - glycosidic bonds are seen in cellobiose (glucose - glucose with β - linkage). Since maltose has an α - glycosidic bond, the answer is C.

Answer:

C. α-glycosidic
