NEET Chemistry Carbohydrates MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations regarding carbohydrates is correct?
Cellulose is a polysaccharide made of b-D-glucose; glycogen is stored in muscle and liver; oligosaccharides yield more than ten monosaccharides on hydrolysis.
Glycogen is similar to cellulose in structure; cellulose is stored in animals; monosaccharides can be further hydrolyzed.
Oligosaccharides include disaccharides; cellulose is found in plants; glycogen is a storage form in animals.
Monosaccharides cannot be hydrolyzed; cellulose is a branched polysaccharide; glycogen yields glucose upon hydrolysis.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Cellulose is indeed found in plants and is composed of b-D-glucose units, while glycogen serves as a storage form of carbohydrates in animals, and oligosaccharides do include disaccharides, which yield two to ten monosaccharide units upon hydrolysis.
