- AD-ribose
- BD-glucose
- CL-glucose
- DD-fructose
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Identify what cellulose is
Cellulose is a polysaccharide made up of many units of -D-glucose joined by glycosidic bonds.
-
Meaning of complete hydrolysis
Complete hydrolysis breaks all the glycosidic bonds in cellulose, converting the polymer into its monomer units.
-
Monomer obtained from cellulose
Since cellulose is composed of -D-glucose units, complete hydrolysis gives D-glucose.
-
Check the options
- A: D-ribose — incorrect, ribose is a pentose sugar, not the monomer of cellulose.
- B: D-glucose — correct.
- C: L-glucose — incorrect, cellulose contains D-glucose units, not L-glucose.
- D: D-fructose — incorrect, fructose is not the monomer unit of cellulose.
-
Final answer
Therefore, complete hydrolysis of cellulose gives:
