Biomolecules question

2018 · 16 Apr · Shift 1 · Q15

JEE MainChemistryBiomoleculesMCQ+4 / −1
Among the following, the incorrect statement is :
  1. A
    Maltose and lactose has 1, 4 - glycosidic linkage.
  2. B
    Sucrose and amylose has 1, 2 - glycosidic linkage
  3. C
    Cellulose and amylose has 1, 4 - glycosidic linkage.
  4. D
    Lactose contains β\betaβ-D-galactose and β\betaβ-D-glucose.

Correct answer: B

  1. Recall the glycosidic linkages of common disaccharides/polysaccharides

    • Maltose: two glucose units joined by an α(1→4)\alpha(1 \to 4)α(1→4) glycosidic bond.
    • Lactose: galactose and glucose joined by a β(1→4)\beta(1 \to 4)β(1→4) glycosidic bond.
    • Sucrose: glucose and fructose joined by an α(1→2)β\alpha(1 \to 2)\betaα(1→2)β glycosidic bond.
    • Amylose: polymer of α\alphaα-D-glucose with α(1→4)\alpha(1 \to 4)α(1→4) linkages.
    • Cellulose: polymer of β\betaβ-D-glucose with β(1→4)\beta(1 \to 4)β(1→4) linkages.
  2. Check each option

    A: Maltose and lactose has 1,41,41,4-glycosidic linkage.

    • Maltose: 1→41 \to 41→4 ✔️
    • Lactose: 1→41 \to 41→4 ✔️
      So, A is correct.

    B: Sucrose and amylose has 1,21,21,2-glycosidic linkage

    • Sucrose: 1→21 \to 21→2 ✔️
    • Amylose: actually has 1→41 \to 41→4, not 1→21 \to 21→2 ❌
      So, B is incorrect.

    C: Cellulose and amylose has 1,41,41,4-glycosidic linkage.

    • Cellulose: 1→41 \to 41→4 ✔️
    • Amylose: 1→41 \to 41→4 ✔️
      So, C is correct.

    D: Lactose contains β\betaβ-D-galactose and β\betaβ-D-glucose.
    Lactose is composed of galactose and glucose, and in standard JEE treatment it is written as β\betaβ-D-galactose + D-glucose with a β(1→4)\beta(1 \to 4)β(1→4) bond. The statement is not taken as the incorrect one here.
    So, D is accepted as correct in this context.

  3. Conclusion

    The incorrect statement is: B\boxed{\text{B}}B​
