What are the hydrolysis products of (i) sucrose and (ii) lactose?

(i)
Answer

Glucose and Fructose

(ii)
Answer

Glucose and Galactose

Explanation

The provided context defines carbohydrates as molecules that provide monosaccharide units upon hydrolysis and states that monosaccharides are held together by glycosidic linkages to form disaccharides. While the specific hydrolysis products for sucrose and lactose are not explicitly detailed in the provided text snippets, the terms 'glucose', 'fructose', and 'galactose' are listed as monosaccharides in the classification question (10.4), and 'sucrose' and 'lactose' are listed as disaccharides. An expert teacher would connect these terms to provide the exam-ready answer: sucrose hydrolyzes to glucose and fructose, and lactose hydrolyzes to glucose and galactose.
