- (B), (C) and (E) only
- (C), (D) and (E) only
Answer
(3) (B), (C) and (E) only
Solution
(A) Starch is a polymer of α-D-glucose; hydrolysis gives only glucose, not galactose incorrect.
(B) Cane sugar (sucrose) H+ D-(+)-glucose + D-(−)-fructose in equal amounts (invert sugar) correct.
(C) Milk sugar (lactose) H+ β-D-galactose + β-D-glucose correct.
(D) Amylopectin is a branched polymer of α-D-glucose only; it gives no fructose incorrect.
(E) Amylose is a linear polymer of α-D-glucose; hydrolysis gives only glucose correct.
Correct: (B), (C) and (E).
Answer: (3)
