Identify the carbon atoms of glucose and of fructose forming glycosidic bond in sucrose.
Options
- AC -1 of -glucose and C -2 of -fructose
- BC -1 of -glucose and C - 2 of -fructose
- CC -2 of -glucose and C - 2 of -fructose
- DC -3 of -glucose and C -1 of -fructose
Correct answer
A. C -1 of -glucose and C -2 of -fructose
Step-by-step solution
Structure of sucrose contains glycosidic linkage between C -1 of -glucose and C -2 of -fructose. Aldehyde and ketone groups of both the monosaccharide units are involved in formation of the glycosidic bond.
