Question:

Which of the following sugars does not undergo hydrolysis?

(A) Glucose
(B) Fructose
(C) Cane Sugar
(D) Lactose

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A), (B) and (D) only

(A) and (B) only

(A), (B), (C) and (D)

(B), (C) and (D) only

Correct Answer:

(A) and (B) only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) and (B) only

Sugars that do not undergo hydrolysis are monosaccharides, because they cannot be broken down into simpler sugars.

  • (A) Glucose → monosaccharide → does not undergo hydrolysis 
  • (B) Fructose → monosaccharide → does not undergo hydrolysis 
  • (C) Cane sugar (sucrose) → disaccharide → undergoes hydrolysis 
  • (D) Lactose → disaccharide → undergoes hydrolysis
