(a) 5′ and 3′ linkages are present between pentose sugars of nucleotides.
Phosphodiester links the two nucleotides together to form a dinucleotide.
Between the pentose sugars of nucleotides, there are 5′ and 3′ connections. In the process of adding phosphate to a dinucleotide, a significant quantity of energy is consumed.

Ans: The Correct option is b.
The structure described in option (b) reflects sucrose, which has a C1−C2 glycosidic bond between α−D− glucose and β−D− fructose.
This is a non-reducing sugar since the reducing groups of glucose and fructose are involved in the creation of glycosidic linkages.

The configuration of different anomers at C-I is distinct. It is known as the form if the hydroxyl group (-OH) is present on the right side of anomeric carbon, and it is known as the? form if the hydroxyl group is present on the left side. As a result, option (c) represents anomers among all the supplied pairs.
