Question

Carbohydrates which cannot be further hydrolysed into simple form are

• A. Monosaccharides
• B. Disaccharides
• C. Oligosaccharides
• D. Polysaccharides

Answer 1

The correct option is A Monosaccharides

Simple carbohydrates are generally soluble sugars. Simpler carbohydrates are of two types Monosaccharides and Oligosaccharides. Monosaccharides are monomer sugars which cannot be hydrolysed further into smaller units, e.g., trioses, tetroses, pentoses, hexoses and heptoses. Oligosaccharides are made up of a few units of monosaccharides.
