Question

Two monomers of maltose are:

• A. $\alpha$ - D-Glucose and $\alpha$ - D-Galactose
• B. $\alpha$ - D-Glucose and $\alpha$ - D-Glucose
• C. $\alpha$ - D-Glucose and $\alpha$ - D-Fructose
• D. $\alpha$ - D-Glucose and $\alpha$ - D-Glucose

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\alpha$ - D-Glucose and $\alpha$ - D-Glucose


Maltose is formed by the glycosidic linkage between C-1 of one $\alpha$- D - Glucose unit to the C-4 of another $\alpha$ - D -Glucose.
