Biomolecules question

2021 · 27 Jul · Shift 2 · Q7

JEE MainChemistryBiomoleculesMCQ+4 / −1
Compound A gives D-Galactose and D-Glucose on hydrolysis. The compound A is :
  1. A
    Amylose
  2. B
    Sucrose
  3. C
    Maltose
  4. D
    Lactose
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: D

  1. We need to identify the disaccharide/polysaccharide which on hydrolysis gives D-Galactose and D-Glucose.

  2. Check each option:

    A: Amylose
    Amylose is a polysaccharide made only of repeating D-glucose units.
    On hydrolysis, it gives only D-glucose, not galactose.
    So, A is incorrect.

    B: Sucrose
    Sucrose on hydrolysis gives D-glucose + D-fructose.
    It does not give galactose.
    So, B is incorrect.

    C: Maltose
    Maltose consists of two D-glucose units.
    On hydrolysis, it gives D-glucose + D-glucose.
    So, C is incorrect.

    D: Lactose
    Lactose is a disaccharide composed of D-galactose + D-glucose.
    On hydrolysis: Lactose→hydrolysisD-galactose+D-glucose\text{Lactose} \xrightarrow{\text{hydrolysis}} \text{D-galactose} + \text{D-glucose}Lactosehydrolysis​D-galactose+D-glucose So, D is correct.

  3. Therefore, the compound AAA is: Lactose\boxed{\text{Lactose}}Lactose​
