Maltose a carbohydrate is properly categorized as:

A. a heteropolysaccharide

B. a heterodisaccharide

E. a monosaccharide

D. a homodisaccharide

C. a homopolysaccharide

Solutions

Expert Solution

1) The correct option is (D)- A homodisaccharide.

Maltose a carbohydrate is properly categorized as a homodisaccharide.

Homodisaccharides are disaccharides that are made up of two same monosaccharides.

For example- Maltose = Glucose + Glucose.

Option-A is incorrect because heteropolysaccharides are carbohydrates that are made up of more than 2 different monosaccharides and maltose is made up of only two.

Ex- Hyaluronic acid and heparin.

Option-B is incorrect because heterodisaccharides are disaccharides that are made up of two different monosaccharides.

Ex- Sucrose - Glucose + Fructose

Option-E is incorrect because it is the simplest form of sugar and cannot be hydrolyzed into more simple sugar.

Ex- Glucose

Option-C is incorrect because homopolysaccharides are carbohydrates that are made up of more than 2 similar monosaccharides and maltose is made up of only two.

Ex- Glycogen- a homopolysaccharide of glucose.
