Question

what forms after the glycosidic linkage reaction between glucose and galactose is complete?
a) water and fructose
b) mannose
c) water and lactose
d) lactose

Explanation:

A glycosidic linkage between two monosaccharides is a dehydration synthesis reaction, which joins the sugars and produces a water molecule as a byproduct. Glucose and galactose are monosaccharides that form the disaccharide lactose when linked by a glycosidic bond, with water released during the reaction.

Answer:

c) Water and lactose
