Vedclass · Answer

(C) Sucrose is a disaccharide with the molecular formula $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$.
Upon hydrolysis in the presence of an acid or the enzyme invertase,it breaks down into its constituent monosaccharides.
The reaction is: $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} + H_2O ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 	ext{ (glucose)} + C_6H_{12}O_6 	ext{ (fructose)}$.
Thus,one molecule of sucrose yields one molecule of $D-(+)$-glucose and one molecule of $D-(-)$-fructose.
