Which of the following carbohydrates is NOT a disaccharide?

Options

  1. AMaltose
  2. BSucrose
  3. CMannose
  4. DLactose

Correct answer

C. Mannose

Step-by-step solution

Carbohydrates are classified into monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides based on their behavior on hydrolysis. Maltose is a disaccharide that yields two molecules of D-glucose on hydrolysis. Sucrose is a disaccharide that yields one molecule of D-glucose and one molecule of D-fructose on hydrolysis. Lactose is a disaccharide that yields one molecule of D-galactose and one molecule of D-glucose on hydrolysis. Mannose is a monosaccharide (an aldohexose) and cannot be hydrolyzed further into simpler c
