Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following monosaccharide combination produces sucrose?
A
Glucose + fructose
B
Glucose + galactose
C
Fructose + galactose
D
Glucose + glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sucrose is composed of −− D-glucose and −− D-fructose. These two monosaccharide units are held together by , -glycosidic linkage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sucrose is the combination of fructose and glucose. To produce table sugar, sucrose is extracted from the juices of sugar cane and sugar beets.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sucrose, glucose and fructose are all simple carbohydrates or simple sugars. Glucose and fructose are individual sugar units and are also called monosaccharides. Sucrose is a sugar molecule made up of both glucose and fructose so sucrose is called a disaccharide.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sucrose is a disaccharide made of glucose and fructose. It’s commonly known as “table sugar” but it can be found naturally in fruits, vegetables, and nuts. However, it’s also produced commercially from sugar cane and sugar beets through a refinement process.

Detailed explanation-5: -Maltose, or malt sugar, is a disaccharide made up of two glucose molecules. The most common disaccharide is sucrose (table sugar), which is made of glucose and fructose.
