Question

Match the following pairs:
a. Fructose — (i) Disaccharide
b. Lactose — (ii) Monosaccharide
Which is the correct match?

• A. a-(i), b-(ii)
• B. a-(ii), b-(i)
• C. a-(ii), b-(ii)
• D. a-(i), b-(i)

Hint:

Remember that monosaccharides contain a single sugar unit, while disaccharides consist of two sugar units.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Fructose is a monosaccharide, which means it consists of a single sugar unit. - Lactose is a disaccharide, which consists of two sugar units (glucose and galactose). Thus, the correct match is: a-(ii), b-(i). Therefore, the correct answer is option (B).
