Sucrose is formed by joining glucose and fructose through which bond?

  • A Alpha-1,4-glycosidic
  • B Beta-1,4-glycosidic
  • C Alpha-1,2-glycosidic
  • D Beta-1,6-glycosidic

Correct answer: C. Alpha-1,2-glycosidic

Explanation: Sucrose is formed by an alpha-1,2-glycosidic bond between glucose (C1) and fructose (C2). This bond makes sucrose a non-reducing sugar.
