Exam code:8BN0
The Glycosidic Bond
-
To make monosaccharides more suitable for storage they are bonded together to form disaccharides and polysaccharides
-
Polysaccharides are insoluble so have less influence on the process of osmosis
-
-
Disaccharides and polysaccharides are formed when two hydroxyl (OH) groups on different monosaccharides interact to form a strong covalent bond called a glycosidic bond
-
The name of the glycosidic bond that forms depends on the location of the OH groups on the monosaccharides concerned, e.g.
-
If the OH groups are located on carbon 1 of one monosaccharide and carbon 4 of the other, a 1,4 glycosidic bond forms
-
If the OH groups are located on carbon 1 of one monosaccharide and carbon 6 of the other, a 1,6 glycosidic bond forms
-
-
Every glycosidic bond results in one water molecule being released, thus glycosidic bonds are formed by a condensation reaction

Glycosidic bonds form through condensation reactions, during which a water molecule is released. When two glucose molecules are joined by a glycosidic bond, the resulting disaccharide is maltose.

Glycosidic bonds can link monosaccharides together to form polysaccharides such as amylopectin, a form of starch. Amylopectin contains 1,4 and 1,6 glycosidic bonds.
-
There are many different types of monosaccharide, which join together to form different disaccharides, e.g.
-
Two molecules of glucose join to form maltose
-
Glucose joins with the monosaccharide fructose to form sucrose
-
Glucose joins with the monosaccharide galactose to form lactose
-
Breaking the glycosidic bond
-
The glycosidic bond is broken when water is added in a hydrolysis reaction
-
Hydro = water
-
Lysis = to break
-
-
Examples of hydrolytic reactions include the digestion of food in the alimentary tract and the breakdown of stored carbohydrates in muscle and liver cells for use in cellular respiration
