The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Nucleosides**: - Nucleosides are compounds that consist of a nitrogenous base and a sugar (usually ribose or deoxyribose). 2. **Identifying the Bonds**: - The question asks about the type of bond that connects the nitrogenous base to the sugar in nucleosides. 3. **Types of Bonds**: - The options provided include: - Hydrogen bond - Glycosidic bond - Sulfur-sulfur bond - A combination of the first and third options. 4. **Correct Bond Identification**: - The bond that connects the sugar to the nitrogenous base in nucleosides is known as a **glycosidic bond**. This is a type of covalent bond that forms between the anomeric carbon of the sugar and the nitrogen atom of the base. 5. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - Hydrogen bonds are not responsible for the connection between the base and sugar; they are typically involved in stabilizing the structure of nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA). - Sulfur-sulfur bonds are also not relevant in this context. - Therefore, the only correct answer is the glycosidic bond. 6. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is that in nucleosides, the base and sugar are joined by a **glycosidic bond**. ### Final Answer: In nucleosides, both base and sugar are joined by a **glycosidic bond**. ---
