MCQ
A disaccharide, on hydrolysis, gives:
  • A
    Two molecules of the same monosaccharide.
  • B
    One molecule each of the same monosaccharide.
  • C
    Three molecules of the same monosaccharide.
  • Two molecules of the same or one molecule each of two different monosaccharides.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Two molecules of the same or one molecule each of two different monosaccharides.
A disaccharide on hydrolysis gives two molecules of the same or one molecule each of two different monosaccharides since a disaccharide is defined as the sugar formed by the glycosidic linkage of $2$ monosaccharides.
Consider, for example, maltose. It hydrolyses to give $2$ molecules of glucose.
