Identify the carbon atoms of -glucose and -fructose forming glycosidic linkage in sucrose.
Options
- AC - 1 of -fructose and C - 2 of -glucose
- BC -1 of -glucose and C -2 of -fructose
- CC -1 of -glucose and C -1 of -fructose
- DC -2 of -glucose and C -2 of -fructose
Correct answer
B. 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.
