Are you sure its SUGAR?
Because aren't all carbohydrates sugars?

They're are classes. Complex sugars: Starch, Cellulose.
Simple sugars: Glucose, Fructose.

I wrote glucose because when you form the carbohydrate by adding two diol monomers also known as glucose monomers. When you hydrolise the card, you get glucose just like you hydrolise protein polymer and got Amino acid monomer.

They mentioned you get amino acids as a result of hydrolysis of ...
But we had to mention the 'class of compounds' and not merely the name of the product formed

Their are a million possible products. You had to write a CLASS, i think. But maybe Glucose will be acceptable in the marking scheme.
Hydrolysis of maltose produces that. But Hydrolysis of Sucrose produces other things. Their are a million possibilities.

Just like their are a million NAMES of amino acids, but we know that Hydrolysis of Proteins produces AMINO ACIDS.

I wrote ''Sugar'' :/ I should have written ''Simple sugars'' ._. I lose a mark, right?

Organic compounds. Wo to saaray hi organic hain. Lipids bhi organic. Hydrocarbons. Ethane. Blah blah.
