Question

Two monomers in maltose are

• A. $\alpha $ -D-glucose and $\alpha $ -D-Fructose
• B. $\alpha $ -D-glucose and $\beta $ -D-galactose
• C. $\alpha $ -D-glucose and $\alpha $ -D-glucose
• D. $\alpha $ -D-glucose and $\alpha $ -D-galactose

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Maltose on hydrolysis give 2 mole of $\alpha $ -D Glucose because in maltose glucosidic linkage is present in between $C_{1}$ & $C_{4}$ of $\alpha $ -D glucose.
