Compound A gives D-Galactose and D-Glucose on hydrolysis. The compound A is :
- AAmylose
- BSucrose
- CMaltose
- DLactose
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
We need to identify the disaccharide/polysaccharide which on hydrolysis gives D-Galactose and D-Glucose.
-
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: So, D is correct. -
Therefore, the compound is:
