In biochemical processes, carbohydrates play critical roles not only as energy sources but also as structural components and signaling molecules. One distinctive feature of certain carbohydrate molecules is their ability to form specific glycosidic bonds that determine their structural and functional properties. Consider the following carbohydrates: glucose, sucrose, lactose, and cellulose.
Which of the following carbohydrates contains a β(1→4) glycosidic bond?
