The correct option for the statement “Which of the following functional groups play the biggest role in the properties of carbohydrates?”
Answer to Problem 3RAT
The correct option for the statement “Which of the following functional groups play the biggest role in the properties of carbohydrates?” is option (a).
Explanation of Solution
The general formula for a monosaccharide is
There are twenty monosaccharides which occur in naturally. The class of monosaccharide which contains an
Therefore, the carbohydrates are defined as the optically active polyhydroxy aldehyde or polyhydroxy ketone or the substance which give these molecules on hydrolysis.
Thus, the functional group which plays the important role in the properties of carbohydrates is alcohol
Hence, the correct option is (a).
Conclusion:
The carbohydrates are formed by the repeating of monosaccharide units and they on hydrolysis give polyhydroxy aldehyde or polyhydroxy ketone. Thus, functional group which plays the important role in the properties of carbohydrates is alcohol
