Consider the following statements about carbohydrates: 1. Glucose is a monosaccharide. 2. Sucrose is a disaccharide. 3. Cellulose is a storage polysaccharide in plants. Which of the above is/are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider the following statements about carbohydrates:
1. Glucose is a monosaccharide.
2. Sucrose is a disaccharide.
3. Cellulose is a storage polysaccharide in plants.
Which of the above is/are correct?
A. 1, 2, and 3
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Glucose is a monosaccharide, sucrose a disaccharide (glucose+fructose). Cellulose is a structural polysaccharide, not storage; starch is storage. So 3 is incorrect.
