Which of following statement(s) are correct for Glucose?

(A) Glucose is a monosaccharide sugar
(B) Glucose is an aldohexose and is also known as dextrose.
(C) Glucose can be hydrolyzed.
(D) Glucose is a reducing sugar.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

The correct answer is Option (1) → (A), (B) and (D) only

Here is the detailed analysis of each statement based on chemical principles:

(A) Glucose is a monosaccharide sugar

• TRUE. Glucose is a simple sugar that cannot be broken down further into simpler units of carbohydrates.

(B) Glucose is an aldohexose and is also known as dextrose

• TRUE. It is called an aldohexose because it contains six carbon atoms ("hexose") and an aldehyde functional group ("aldo") at Carbon 1.
• It is also commonly referred to as dextrose because it is dextrorotatory, meaning it rotates plane-polarized light to the right.

(C) Glucose can be hydrolyzed

• FALSE. Only complex carbohydrates like disaccharides (e.g., sucrose) or polysaccharides (e.g., starch) can be hydrolyzed into simpler sugars. Since glucose is already a monosaccharide, it cannot be further hydrolyzed.

(D) Glucose is a reducing sugar

• TRUE. Glucose has a free (or potentially free in its cyclic form) aldehyde group at Carbon 1. This allows it to reduce reagents like Fehling's solution or Tollen's reagent, resulting in a positive test for reducing sugars.
