A

OH an ether or glycosidic link

53
Q

what is formed When 2 monosaccharides are joined by dehydration

a disaccharide

54
Q

glycosidic bonds are

A

Covalent bonds between the anomeric hydroxyl of a cyclic sugar and the hydroxyl of a second sugar (or another alcohol containing compound)

55
Q

The linkage of two monosaccharides to form disaccharides has what bond

A

glycosidic bond

56
Q

a disaccharide is obtained from starch, which on hydrolysis produces glucose. This on further fermentation yields ethanol. It is composed of 2 glucose monomers in an α–(1,4) glycosidic bond.

maltose

57
Q

found in milk products is another disaccharide. It consists of galactose and glucose in a β–(1,4) glycosidic bond.

A

lactose

58
Q

another disaccharide cannot form an open chain and therefore cannot be oxidized. It does not react with Benedict’s reagent and thus is not a reducing sugar. It is composed of glucose and fructose through an α–(1,2)–β-glycosidic bond

A

sucrose

59
Q

These are polymers formed by the combination of many monosaccharides

A

polysaccharides

60
Q

The monomeric building blocks used to generate polysaccharides can be varied; in all cases, however, the predominant monosaccharide found in polysaccharides is

A

D-glucose

61
Q

When polysaccharides are composed of a single monosaccharide building block, they are termed

Q

Polysaccharides composed of more than one type of monosaccharide are termed

heteropolysaccharides

63
Q

a storage form of glucose in plants is composed of 2 polysaccharides- amylose and amylopectin

A

starch

64
Q

what happens to starches in the presence of acid

A

they hydrolyze easily and give dextrinwhich on further hydrolysis yields maltose and finally glucose.
