The number of glycosidic bonds in a carbohydrate is the number of monosaccharides minus one, as each bond involves two monomers.
Le nombre de liaisons glycosidiques dans un glucide est égal au nombre de monosaccharides moins un, car chaque liaison implique deux monomères.
| Front | Explain how to calculate the number of glycosidic bonds in a carbohydrate given the number of monosaccharides. |
|---|---|
| Back | It would be the number of monosaccharides - 1 because a glycosidic bond involves TWO monomers. |
