Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is true because a positive Tollen's test indicates the presence of a reducing sugar. Statement 2 is true because the glycosidic bond linking monosaccharides in a disaccharide is a carbon-oxygen-carbon bond. Statement 3 is true because monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates and cannot be broken down further by hydrolysis.
