Raffinose is a trisaccharide; its complete hydrolysis gives three monosaccharides - galactose, glucose and fructose.

Raffinose is a naturally occurring non-reducing trisaccharide (found in sugar beet, cotton seed, legumes, etc.) built from three monosaccharide units linked by glycosidic bonds: a galactose unit joined to the glucose unit of sucrose. Structurally it can be thought of as galactose + glucose + fructose, held together by two glycosidic linkages.

On complete acid or enzymatic hydrolysis, both glycosidic bonds are cleaved, releasing all three constituent monosaccharides: …

$Q. Which of the following is an Aldohexose?$
(a) Cellulose
(b) Sucrose
(c) Raffinose
(d) Glucose
›Reveal solutionSolution
An aldohexose is a simple six-carbon sugar (monosaccharide) that carries an aldehyde (-CHO) functional group; glucose is the most common example.

Glucose has the molecular formula C6H12O6, with a straight-chain structure carrying an aldehyde group at C1 and hydroxyl groups on the remaining carbons - so it is classified as an aldohexose ('aldo' for the aldehyde group, 'hexose' for six carbons).

Cellulose is a polysaccharide (polymer of many glucose units), not a monosaccharide. …

Fructose is the sweetest naturally occurring sugar — option (d).

Concept. Sweetness is compared on a relative scale taking table sugar (sucrose) as the reference, 100.

Relative sweetness of the options:

Glucose ≈ 74

Lactose ≈ 16 (least sweet)

Sucrose = 100 (reference) …

$Q. Which of the following is a disaccharide?$
(a) Sucrose
(b) Glucose
(c) Fructose
(d) Starch
›Reveal solutionSolution
Disaccharides give two monosaccharide units on hydrolysis; sucrose (glucose + fructose) is the disaccharide here.

Carbohydrates are classified by the number of monosaccharide units produced on hydrolysis:

Monosaccharides: cannot be hydrolysed further, e.g. glucose, fructose.

Disaccharides: give two monosaccharide units on hydrolysis, e.g. sucrose, maltose, lactose.

Polysaccharides: give many units, e.g. starch, cellulose. …

$Q. Disaccharide is -$
(a) Glucose
(b) Fructose
(c) Sucrose
(d) Starch
›Reveal solutionSolution
A disaccharide yields exactly two monosaccharide units on hydrolysis; among the options only sucrose fits.

Glucose and Fructose are themselves monosaccharides (single sugar units), not disaccharides.

Starch is a polysaccharide (many glucose units joined together). …

›Reveal solutionSolution
Cellulose is a polysaccharide, not a disaccharide → option (b).

Concept. Carbohydrates are classified by how many monosaccharide units they release on hydrolysis: a disaccharide gives two, a polysaccharide gives many.

Checking each option.

Sucrose → glucose + fructose (disaccharide)

Lactose → glucose + galactose (disaccharide) …

›Reveal solutionSolution
Fructose = 6 carbons + keto group = ketohexose.

A ketohexose has six carbon atoms (hexose) and a ketone functional group.

Glucose is an aldohexose (aldehyde group, 6 C).

Fructose is a ketohexose (keto group at C-2, 6 C). …

(c) An aldohexose
(d) A ketohexose
›Reveal solutionSolution

Glucose has the molecular formula C6H12O6, with an aldehyde group at C-1, making it an aldohexose.

Sugars are classified by (i) the number of carbon atoms (tri-, tetr-, pent-, hex- ose, etc.) and (ii) the type of carbonyl group present (aldo- for -CHO, keto- for C=O within the chain). …

$Q. Milk sugar is -$
(a) Sucrose
(b) Lactose
(c) Maltose
(d) Galactose
›Reveal solutionSolution

Lactose, often called 'milk sugar', is the principal sugar naturally present in mammalian milk.

Lactose is a disaccharide formed by a glycosidic (beta-1,4) linkage between a molecule of galactose and a molecule of glucose; it occurs naturally in milk (about 4-5% in cow's milk).

Sucrose ('cane/table sugar') is glucose + fructose, obtained from sugarcane/sugar beet, not milk. …

$Q. Glucose and fructose are$
(a) Isomers of each other
(b) Homologus of each other
(c) Anomers of each other
(d) Enantioners of each other
›Reveal solutionSolution

Glucose and fructose both have the molecular formula C6H12O6 but differ in the position of the carbonyl group (glucose = aldehyde at C1, fructose = ketone at C2), making them structural (functional) isomers, not anomers or enantiomers of one another.

Glucose is an aldohexose (has a -CHO group at C1). Fructose is a ketohexose (has a C=O group at C2). Both share the same molecular formula C6H12O6, but their functional group and connectivity differ - this is the definition of (structural) isomerism.
