(a)
Interpretation: The authenticity of the given statements related to the glycosidic bonds in carbohydrates is to be checked.
Concept introduction: The enzyme required for the hydrolysis of maltose is maltase and that required for the hydrolysis of lactose is lactase.
The glycosidic bond is formed between the two monosaccharides by the condensation of the hydroxyl bonds of the two glycosides.
To determine: The authenticity of the given statement, “The glycosidic bond in maltose is hydrolysed by the people who are lactose intolerant”.
(b)
To determine: The authenticity of the given statement, “A glycosidic bond links glucose and fructose together to form sucrose”.
(c)
To determine: The authenticity of the given statement, “A glycosidic bond is an ether linkage, but all ether linkage is not a glycosidic bond”.
