MCQ
Sugars are
- AOptically active polyhydroxy aldehydes
- BOptically active polyhydroxy ketones
- COptically active polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones
- ✓Polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones which may or may not be optically active
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones which may or may not be optically active
d
sugar may be defined as optically active polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones . as it contains at least one asymmetrical (chiral) carbon and is, therefore, optically active
