Question

The two functional groups present in a typical carbohydrate are (A) - OH and -COOH (B) - CHO and -COOH (C) > C = O and - OH (D) - OH and - CHO

Carbohydrates are essentially polyhydroxy aldehydes and polyhydroxy ketones. Thus, the two functional groups present are (aldehyde or ketone) and -OH (hydroxy) groups.

Q. The two functional groups present in a typical carbohydrate are

$- O H$ and $- COO H$

$- C H O$ and $- COO H$

$> C = O$ and $- O H$

$- O H$ and $- C H O$

Carbohydrates are essentially polyhydroxy aldehydes and polyhydroxy ketones. Thus, the two functional groups present are (aldehyde or ketone) and -OH (hydroxy) groups.

Q. The two functional groups present in a typical carbohydrate are

−OH and −COOH

−CHO and −COOH

>C=O and −OH

−OH and −CHO

Carbohydrates are essentially polyhydroxy aldehydes and polyhydroxy ketones. Thus, the two functional groups present are (aldehyde or ketone) and -OH (hydroxy) groups.

$- O H$ and $- COO H$

$- C H O$ and $- COO H$

$> C = O$ and $- O H$

$- O H$ and $- C H O$
