Solution

The hydrolysis of sucrose results in the production of dextrorotatory glucose and levorotatory fructose. So, the correct answer is b. dextrorotatory glucose and levorotatory fructose.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which a molecule is split into two parts by the addition of a water molecule.

  2. Sucrose is a disaccharide, a type of sugar that is composed of two monosaccharides: glucose and fructose.

  3. When sucrose undergoes hydrolysis, it is broken down into its component monosaccharides. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme sucrase.

  4. The glucose that is produced is dextrorotatory, meaning it rotates plane-polarized light to the right.

  5. The fructose that is produced is levorotatory, meaning it rotates plane-polarized light to the left.

So, the hydrolysis of sucrose produces dextrorotatory glucose and levorotatory fructose.
