Vedclass · Answer

(D) The general formula for monosaccharides is $(CH_2O)_n$,where $n$ is the number of carbon atoms. For Triose $(n=3)$,the formula is $C_3H_6O_3$. For Pentose $(n=5)$,the formula is $C_5H_{10}O_5$. For Hexose $(n=6)$,the formula is $C_6H_{12}O_6$. Disaccharides are formed by the condensation of two monosaccharides with the loss of a water molecule $(H_2O)$. The general formula for a disaccharide is $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$ (e.g.,sucrose,lactose,maltose). Therefore,the formula $C_{12}H_{22}O_{12}$ given for a disaccharide is incorrect.
