Which one of the following compounds is different from the rest in terms of undergoing hydrolysis to form simpler compounds?
Options
- ASucrose
- BMaltose
- CLactose
- DGlucose
Correct answer
D. Glucose
Step-by-step solution
(i) Monosaccarides cannot undergo hydrolysis. (ii) Disaccarides are carbohydrates which give two monosaccarides unit on hydrolysis. Sucrose + H 2 O → Glucose + Fructose Maltose + H 2 O → 2 Glucose Lactose + H 2 O → Glucose + Galactose Glucose cannot undergo hydrolysis.
