The ones yielding two monosaccharides on hydrolysis are:
Correct answer: D. Disaccharides
- A. Trisaccharides
- B. Tetrasaccharides
- C. Pentasaccharides
- D. Disaccharides
Explanation
The correct answer is D. Disaccharides are composed of two linked monosaccharide units, and upon hydrolysis, they yield exactly two monosaccharides. This is why they fit the description given in the question. Trisaccharides, tetrasaccharides, and pentasaccharides contain three, four, and five monosaccharide units respectively, and their hydrolysis results in the release of the corresponding number of monosaccharides, not just two.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
