The correct statement about the following disaccharide is-
The correct statement about the following disaccharide is-

Options
- ARing is pyranose with -glycosidic link
- BRing is furanose with -glycosidic link
- CRing is furanose with -glycosidic link
- DRing is pyranose with -glycosidic link
Correct answer
A. Ring is pyranose with -glycosidic link
Step-by-step solution
In the given structure, ring one has one -atom and is a membered ring, thus is called pyranose ring, whereas ring has one -atom and is a five membered ring, thus is called furanose.
The disaccharide is linked by a glycosidic bond between of glucose (in the -position, linkage)~of fructose (in the -position, -linkage).
