Which are the most physiologically significant disaccharides?
Correct answer: D. All of these
- A. Maltose
- B. Sucrose
- C. Lactose
- D. All of these
Explanation
The most physiologically significant disaccharides are maltose, sucrose, and lactose. Each of these plays an important role in human nutrition and metabolism. Maltose is important in the digestion of starch, sucrose is a major dietary sugar, and lactose is crucial for infants as it is a major component of milk. Therefore, option D, 'All of these,' is the correct answer. Options A, B, and C are each individually significant, but the question asks for all physiologically significant disaccharides.

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.
