How are glycosidic bonds formed?

1.	How are glycosidic bonds formed?
Answer» Glycosidic bond is the bond that joins the monosaccharide units in a polysaccharide chain. the bond is formed between two adjacent monosaccharide units and it involves dehydration. When a base (Purine or pyrimidine) is attached to D-ribose or deoxyribose, is formed nucleoside.A nitrogen atom at 9th position of Purine base and nitrogen atom at 1st position of pyrimidine base is linked to carbon 1st position of deoxyribose or ribose by N-glycosidic linkage.
