Why can glycosidic bonds in disaccharides be hydrolyzed by acid but not cleaved by base?
Acids can break covalent bonds easily
Test your knowledge on carbohydrates, glycosidic bonds, and the hydrolysis of disaccharides to yield constituent monosaccharides. Learn about the formation of O-glycosidic bonds and the difference in cleavage by acid and base.
