MDCAT Biology QUESTION #11403
Question 1
Which of the following molecules would yield glucose and fructose on hydrolysis?
  • Starch
  • Lactose
  • Glycogen
  • Sucrose✔️
Correct Answer Explanation
Sucrose is a disaccharide formed by a glycosidic bond between glucose and fructose. Hydrolysis (by sucrase/invertase) breaks this bond, yielding one molecule of glucose and one of fructose. Lactose yields glucose + galactose; starch and glycogen yield glucose only.
