Q: What is formed when a monomer of glucose and a monomer of fructose are joined in a dehydration reaction to form a glycosidic bond?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Figure 3.7 Sucrose is formed when a monomer of glucose and a monomer of fructose are joined in a dehydration reaction to form a glycosidic bond. In the process, a water molecule is lost. By convention, the carbon atoms in a monosaccharide are numbered from the terminal carbon closest to the carbonyl group. In sucrose, a glycosidic linkage is formed between carbon 1 in glucose and carbon 2 in fructose.

 Choices:

- fructose

- sulfate

- chloride

- sucrose


A:
sucrose
