Question

The structure of Sucrose is composed of:

• A. $\alpha$-D-glucopyranose and $\beta$-D-fructofuranose
• B. $\alpha$-D-glucopyranose and $\alpha$-D-glucopyranose
• C. $\beta$-D-galactopyranose and $\beta$-D-glucopyranose
• D. $\alpha$-D-glucopyranose and $\beta$-D-galactopyranose

Hint:

Remember: \[ \text{Sucrose} = \alpha\text{-D-Glucose} + \beta\text{-D-Fructose} \] It is a non-reducing sugar because both anomeric carbons participate in glycosidic bond formation.

Answer 1
