Which one of the following sets of monosaccharides forms sucrose?

Which one of the following sets of monosaccharides forms sucrose?Which one of the following sets of monosaccharides forms sucrose?

Options

  1. Aα\alpha-D-galactopyranose and α\alpha-D-glucopyranose
  2. Bα\alpha-D-glucopyranose and β\beta-D-fructofuranose
  3. Cβ\beta-D-glucopyranose and α\alpha-D-fructofuranose
  4. Dα\alpha-D-glucopyranose and β\beta-D-fructopyranose

Correct answer

B. α\alpha-D-glucopyranose and β\beta-D-fructofuranose

Step-by-step solution

Sucrose is composed of α\alpha-D-glucopyranose and a β\beta-D-fructofuranose units which are joined by α,β\alpha, \beta-glycosidic linkage between C−1\mathrm{C}-1 of the glucose unit and C-2 of the fructose unit. Which one of the following sets of monosaccharides forms sucrose?
