Identify the pair of carbohydrates containing galactose as one of constituent in both of them.

Options

  1. ASucrose and Stachyose
  2. BMaltose and Raffinose
  3. CRaffinose and Stachyose
  4. DLactose and Maltose

Correct answer

C. Raffinose and Stachyose

Step-by-step solution

Sucrose is a disaccharide comprising -D-glucose and -D-fructose, lacking galactose. Maltose consists of two -D-glucose units and does not contain galactose. Lactose contains -D-galactose and -D-glucose, hence it includes galactose. Raffinose is a trisaccharide with D-galactose, D-glucose, and D-fructose; it contains galactose. Stachyose is a tetrasaccharide composed of two D-galactose, one D-glucose, and one D-fructose, thus containing galactose. Evaluating option pairs: Raffinose and Stachyose both incorporate gal
