The incorrect statement about Glucose is :
Options
- AGlucose is soluble in water because of having aldehyde functional group
- BGlucose remains in multiple isomeric form in its aqueous solution
- CGlucose is one of the monomer unit in sucrose
- DGlucose is an aldohexose
Correct answer
A. Glucose is soluble in water because of having aldehyde functional group
Step-by-step solution
Glucose is soluble in water due to presence of alcohol functional group and extensive hydrogen bonding. Glucose exist is open chain as well as cyclic forms in its aqueous solution. Glucose having 6C atoms so it is hexose and having aldehyde functional group so it is aldose. Thus, aldohexose. Glucose is monomer unit in sucrose with fructose.
