The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Two sugar units are joined by a 1,2-glycosidic bond in sucrose." - Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of two monosaccharides: glucose and fructose. 2. **Identifying the Components**: - Sucrose is formed from α-D-glucose and β-D-fructose. - In α-D-glucose, the anomeric carbon (C1) is the carbon that is involved in the glycosidic bond formation. - In β-D-fructose, the carbon that participates in the bond is C2. 3. **Formation of the Glycosidic Bond**: - When α-D-glucose and β-D-fructose undergo condensation, a water molecule is removed from the hydroxyl group (OH) on C1 of glucose and the hydroxyl group (OH) on C2 of fructose. - This results in the formation of a glycosidic bond between C1 of glucose and C2 of fructose, which is specifically a 1,2-glycosidic bond. 4. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "It contains C1-glucose and C2-fructose glycosidic bond." - This is accurate as the glycosidic bond formed in sucrose indeed involves C1 of glucose and C2 of fructose. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason accurately explains the assertion. - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are correct. ---
