The incorrect statement about Glucose is :
- AGlucose remains in multiple isomeric form in its aqueous solution
- BGlucose is soluble in water because of having aldehyde functional group
- CGlucose is an aldohexose
- DGlucose is one of the monomer unit in sucrose

Correct answer: B
- Analyze each statement about glucose
Option A: Glucose remains in multiple isomeric form in its aqueous solution
In aqueous solution, glucose exists in equilibrium between:
- open-chain form
- -D-glucopyranose
- -D-glucopyranose
- small amounts of furanose forms
So glucose does exist in multiple isomeric forms in water due to mutarotation.
Hence, A is correct.
Option B: Glucose is soluble in water because of having aldehyde functional group
Glucose is highly soluble in water mainly because it contains multiple hydroxyl groups , which form hydrogen bonds with water.
The aldehyde group contributes much less compared to the many hydroxyl groups.
So saying glucose is soluble in water because of having aldehyde functional group is incorrect.
Hence, B is incorrect.
Option C: Glucose is an aldohexose
Glucose has:
- 6 carbon atoms hexose
- an aldehyde group in open-chain form aldose
Therefore, glucose is an aldohexose.
Hence, C is correct.
Option D: Glucose is one of the monomer unit in sucrose
Sucrose is composed of:
- one unit of glucose
- one unit of fructose
So glucose is indeed one monomeric unit of sucrose.
Hence, D is correct.
