Question

Formation of both peptide and glycosidic bonds involves

• A. Esterification
• B. Hydration
• C. Dehydration
• D. Acidification

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Glycosidic bonds and peptide bonds are two types of covalent bonds which can be found in living systems. The formation of both of these bonds involves the removal of a water molecule and this process is called dehydration reactions (also known as condensation reactions).

So, the correct answer is option C.
