Use the following to answer the questions below:
In each of the following multiple-choice questions, characterize EACH of the three given statements as being TRUE or FALSE and then indicate the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices:
-Statements: 
(1) Diastereomers are stereoisomers whose molecules are mirror images of each other.
(2) Both cyclic forms of glucose contain a six-membered carbon ring.
(3) Complete hydrolysis of both maltose and cellobiose produce the same molecule.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

(1) is false - diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images.
(2) is true - both cyclic forms of glucose have a six-membered carbon ring.
(3) is false - complete hydrolysis of maltose produces two glucose molecules, while complete hydrolysis of cellobiose produces two glucose molecules but in different configurations. Therefore, only statement (2) is true, and the correct answer is (C) Only one of the statements is true.
