Identify a carbohydrate but does not fit into the definition.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Rhamnose.
While it is a carbohydrate, it does not fit into the typical definition of a sugar. Rhamnose is a methyl pentose, a sugar derivative, and is not a common monosaccharide or disaccharide like the others listed.
- Maltose: A disaccharide made up of two glucose molecules.
- Sucrose: A disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose.
- Fructose: A monosaccharide commonly found in fruits.
