Which of the following bonds is not created by a condensatio
Which of the following bonds is not created by a condensation/dehydration reaction?
a) peptide bond ( between amino acids)
b) phosphodiesterase bond ( between nucleotides)
c) glycosidic bond (between sugars)
d) ester linkage (connects glycerol to fatty acid)
e) they are all created by dehydration reactions
Solution
Answer : The correct answer is E (They are all created by dehydration reactions). Formation of all these bonds /linkages involves dehydration. Water molecules are released during these processes (loss of a water molecule)
