Nature of Bond Linking Monomers in a Polymer

Question

The bond formed between two carbon atoms of two adjacent monosaccharides is:

Easy

A

Glycosidic bond
B

Phosphoester bond
C

Phophodiester bond
D

Peptide bond

Solution

In a polysaccharide the individual monosaccharides are linked by a glycosidic bond. This bond is also formed by dehydration. This bond is formed between two carbon atoms of two adjacent monosaccharides.
In a polypeptide or a protein, amino acids are linked by a peptide bond which is formed when the carboxyl (-COOH) group of one amino acid reacts with the amino ( $- {NH}_{2}$ ) group of the next amino acid with the elimination of a water moiety.
Phosphodiester bond is formed between two nucleotides in a polynucleotide chain.
