Among the following, the incorrect statement is :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A Maltose and lactose has 1, 4 - glycosidic linkage.
  • B Sucrose and amylose has 1, 2 - glycosidic linkage
  • C Cellulose and amylose has 1, 4 - glycosidic linkage.
  • D Lactose contains β\beta -D-galactose and β\beta -D-glucose.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

(a) Both maltose and lactose have 1,4-glycosidic linkage.

(b) In sucrose, C1- α\alpha of glucose is connected to C2- β\beta of fructose. In amylose, C1 of one glucose unit is attached to C4 of other glucose through α\alpha -glycosidic linkage.

(c) Cellulose has 1,4- β\beta -D-glycosidic linkage, but amylose has 1,4- α\alpha -D-glycosidic linkage.

(d) In lactose, C1- β\beta of galactose is linked to C4- β\beta of glucose.
