Question

Glucose has difference from fructose in that it

• A. does not undergo hydrolysis
• B. gives silver mirror with Tollen's reagent
• C. monosaccharide
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

gives silver mirror with Tollen's reagent

Answer 2

Glucose and fructose both of them does not undergo hydrolysis and both of them are monosaccharides. $\because \, \, \,$ Glucose has aldehyde group, it reduces Tollen's reagent to silver mirror. Fructose has ketonic group, it does not form silver mirror with Tollen's reagent.
