The examples of disaccharides are

(A) Sucrose
(B) Maltose
(C) Lactose
(D) Cellulose

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A), (B) and (C) only

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

Carbohydrates are classified based on the number of monosaccharide units present.

Monosaccharides → Single sugar unit Example: Glucose, Fructose

Disaccharides → Two monosaccharide units joined by glycosidic bond

Polysaccharides → Many monosaccharide units

Disaccharides form by condensation of two monosaccharides with loss of one water molecule

(A) Sucrose Formed from: Glucose + Fructose It is a disaccharide linked by glycosidic bond. Hence correct.

(B) Maltose Formed from: Glucose + Glucose It is also a disaccharide. Hence correct.

(C) Lactose Formed from: Glucose + Galactose It is a disaccharide found in milk. Hence correct.

(D) Cellulose Formed from: Thousands of glucose units It is a structural polysaccharide present in plant cell walls. Not a disaccharide.

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