Question

what is the result of a monomer of fructose + a monomer of glucose?
a maltose
b lactose
c galactose
d sucrose

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Maltose is formed from two glucose monomers, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Lactose is formed from glucose and galactose, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: Galactose is a monosaccharide, not a disaccharide formed from fructose and glucose, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: Sucrose is a disaccharide formed by the combination of one fructose monomer and one glucose monomer through a dehydration reaction.

Answer:

D. sucrose
