Carbohydrates that cannot be hydrolyzed to simpler sugar units are:

  1. Polysaccharides
  2. Monosaccharides (e.g., glucose, fructose)
  3. Oligosaccharides
  4. Disaccharides
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Monosaccharides (e.g., glucose, fructose)

**Monosaccharides:** simplest sugars, cannot be further hydrolyzed. **Examples:** glucose, fructose, ribose. Building blocks of larger carbohydrates.

The molecular formula of glucose is:

  1. C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁
  2. C₆H₁₂O₆
  3. C₅H₁₀O₅
  4. C₆H₁₀O₅
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. C₆H₁₂O₆

**Glucose:** C₆H₁₂O₆ (aldohexose). Fructose has same formula (ketohexose) — they are constitutional isomers. Sucrose: C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁.

Building block (monomer) of starch:

  1. β-D-Glucose
  2. α-D-Glucose
  3. Galactose
  4. Fructose
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. α-D-Glucose

**Starch:** polymer of α-D-glucose units linked by α-1,4 (and some α-1,6) glycosidic bonds. **Two components:** amylose (linear) and amylopectin (branched). **Cellulose differs:** β-D-glucose linked by β-1,4.
