b) Sucrose
c) Lactose
d) Cellulose
Which of the following do not reduce Tollens' reagent?
a) Fructose
b) Sucrose
c) Lactose
d) Cellulose
a) Fructose
b) Sucrose
c) Lactose
d) Cellulose
Show Hint
Only reducing sugars reduce Tollens' reagent; non-reducing sugars like sucrose and cellulose do not.

- Fructose, Sucrose
- Sucrose, Cellulose
- Fructose, Lactose
- Lactose, Cellulose
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Tollens' reagent is reduced by aldehydes and some ketones. Fructose (a ketose) and lactose (a reducing sugar) reduce Tollens' reagent, but sucrose (a non-reducing sugar) and cellulose do not.
