What is the product when a molecule of sucrose is broken down by using one molecule of water?
|
|
Glucose and glucose
|
|
|
Glucose and fructose
|
|
|
Glucose and galactose
|
|
|
Fructose and galactose
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The products obtained on the hydrolysis of sucrose are glucose and fructose. Glucose is dextrorotatory and fructose is laevorotatory. Sucrose is dextrorotatory. The resulting solution after hydrolysis is laevorotatory.
Detailed explanation-2: -The generation of sucrose and water from glucose and fructose is an example of a dehydration synthesis reaction. A dehydration synthesis reaction joins two molecules, while removing a water molecule, which is how disaccharides and polysaccharides are formed from monosaccharide monomers.
