JEE Main 2025 — Biomolecules Question with Solution
From: JEE Main 2025 (Online) 7th April Morning Shift
Question
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: D-(+)-glucose + D-(+) fructose Sucrose
Statement II: Invert sugar is formed during sucrose hydrolysis
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Step-by-step explanation
In Statement I, the reaction shown is incorrect. During the hydrolysis of sucrose, D-(+)-glucose and D-(-)-fructose are produced. However, the statement incorrectly specifies D-(+)-fructose, making Statement I inaccurate.
Statement II is accurate. When sucrose undergoes hydrolysis, it results in the formation of invert sugar, a mixture of glucose and fructose. This change involves the inversion of optical rotation, which is where the term "invert sugar" comes from.
