Sucrose is formed by an -1,2-glycosidic bond between the anomeric carbons of -D-glucose (C1) and -D-fructose (C2). Because both anomeric carbons are involved in the glycosidic linkage, neither ring can open to expose a free aldehyde/ketone — so sucrose is correctly described as a non-reducing sugar (d) and a disaccharide (b). On hydrolysis (dilute acid or the enzyme invertase) the glycosidic bond breaks to give glucose AND fructose (c is a true statement), n …
