Vedclass · Answer

(D) Disaccharides are carbohydrates formed by the condensation of two monosaccharide units. $1$. Their general formula is $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$ (for common disaccharides like sucrose,lactose,and maltose),which fits the form $C_n(H_2O)_{n-1}$. $2$. They are crystalline,sweet-tasting,and water-soluble sugars. $3$. However,disaccharides are large,polar molecules (macromolecules) compared to monosaccharides. $4$. Due to their size and polarity,they cannot pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane via simple diffusion and require specific transport proteins to enter the cell. Therefore,the statement that they can pass through the cell membrane is inconsistent with their properties.

Which of the following statements is inconsistent with the properties of disaccharides?
