Chemistry Question on Enzymes

Sucrose is made up of

A

glucose-galactose

B

glucose-glucose

C

glucose-fructose

D

fructose-fructose

Answer

glucose-fructose

Explanation

Solution

Sucrose, the common table sugar or cane sugar is made up of glucose and fructose. Its molecular formula is C12H22O11C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} . On hydrolysis sucrose give rise one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose.
C12H22O11+H2O→C6H12O6+C6H12O6Glucose + FructoseC_{12} H_{22}O_{11} + H_2O \rightarrow \underset{\text{Glucose + Fructose}}{C_6H_{12}O_6 + C_6H_{12}O_6}
