Question

Select the option that correctly identifies the chemical bonds present in the given biomolecules.
Polysaccharides-A, Proteins-B, Fats-C, Water -D
A. `{:(A,B,C,D),("Ester", "Peptide", "Glycosidic", "Hydrogen"):}`
B. `{:(A,B,C,D),("Glycosidic", "Peptide", "Ester", "Hydrogen"):}`
C. `{:(A,B,C,D),("Glycosidic", "Peptide", "Hydrogen", "Ester"):}`
D. `{:(A,B,C,D),("Hydrogen", "Ester", "Peptide", "Glycosidic"):}`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
In polysaccharides, monosaccharides are linked together by glycosidic bond `(C-O-C)`. It is formed by dehydration between two carbon atoms of two adjacent monosaccharides. Water has hydrogen bonding. Amino acids in a protein are linked through peptide bond whereas ester bond is present in fats.
