Which of the following disaccharides yields two molecules of glucose on complete hydrolysis?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two molecules of glucose linked by an alpha-1,4 glycosidic bond. On complete hydrolysis, this bond is broken, yielding two molecules of glucose. Lactose and sucrose are composed of glucose and galactose or glucose and fructose, respectively, and require different enzymes to hydrolyze the glycosidic bond between them.
