Among the following, the incorrect statement is :
- AMaltose and lactose has 1, 4 - glycosidic linkage.
- BSucrose and amylose has 1, 2 - glycosidic linkage
- CCellulose and amylose has 1, 4 - glycosidic linkage.
- DLactose contains -D-galactose and -D-glucose.

Correct answer: B
-
Recall the glycosidic linkages of common disaccharides/polysaccharides
- Maltose: two glucose units joined by an glycosidic bond.
- Lactose: galactose and glucose joined by a glycosidic bond.
- Sucrose: glucose and fructose joined by an glycosidic bond.
- Amylose: polymer of -D-glucose with linkages.
- Cellulose: polymer of -D-glucose with linkages.
-
Check each option
A: Maltose and lactose has -glycosidic linkage.
- Maltose: ✔️
- Lactose: ✔️
So, A is correct.
B: Sucrose and amylose has -glycosidic linkage
- Sucrose: ✔️
- Amylose: actually has , not ❌
So, B is incorrect.
C: Cellulose and amylose has -glycosidic linkage.
- Cellulose: ✔️
- Amylose: ✔️
So, C is correct.
D: Lactose contains -D-galactose and -D-glucose.
Lactose is composed of galactose and glucose, and in standard JEE treatment it is written as -D-galactose + D-glucose with a bond. The statement is not taken as the incorrect one here.
So, D is accepted as correct in this context. -
