Answer:
Because the reacting hydroxyl at ____C-1____ in _____Glucose ____ was in the __α-___position, the linkage. C-1 monosaccharides in sucrose are said to be joined by ____α-1,β-2-glycosidic(Head to Head )________ linkage. Since this linkage is formed with _____Fructose______ form of ___β-Carbon___ it is often referred to as being ___α-1,β-2-glycosidic(Head to Head )____ linkage
Explanation:
Sucrose is a well known disaccharide which formed by the combination of 1 Glucose and 1 fructose molecule. They are unique in there process of formation as they are formed with head to head linkage between elements of glucose with anomeric(the carbon atom contains -OH) alpha(the carbon right next to the one connected with the functional group)carbon is attracted to the fructose's beta(Second carbon to the functional group linkage) carbon with the anomeric thus OH- and H+ are combined to give water molecule and as a result the Sucrose is formed
