Question

Given below are two statements :
Statement I: Maltose has two$α-D-glucose$ units linked at $C_1$ and $C_4$ and is a reducing sugar.
Statement II: Maltose has two monosaccharides :
$α-D-glucose$ and $β-D-glucose$ linked at $C_1$ and $C_6$ and it is a non-reducing sugar.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
• C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
• D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Answer 2

Maltose is composed of two $α-D-glucose$ units in which $C_1$ of one glucose unit and $C_4$ of second glucose unit are linked.

$Hence,$ the correct option is (C): Statement I is true but Statement II is false
