Glycosidic bonds and polysaccharides. a) (3 pts) Figure 2 shows the Maltose Haworth projection. Identify the two carbon atoms joined by the glycosidic bond and label the linkage. b) (2 pts) Is Maltose a reducing sugar? Explain what structural feature is responsible for it being or not being a reducing sugar. c) (3 pts) Glycogen and cellulose are both polymers of D-glucose. Give one structural difference between them and explain how that difference is related to their biological roles.
