Question
Define the following terms:
  1. Glycosidic linkage.
  2. Invert sugar.
  3. Oligosaccharides.
✓

Answer

  1. A linkage between two monosaccharide units through oxygen atom is called glycosidic linkage.
  2. Hydrolysis of sucrose brings about a change in the sign of rotation, from dextro (+) to laevo (–) and the product is named as invert sugar.
  3. Carbohydrates that yield two to ten monosaccharide units on hydrolysis, are called oligosaccharides.
