Biomolecules

Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules linked together by a glycosidic bond. It is commonly found in germinating seeds and is produced during the breakdown of starch by the enzyme amylase.
Glucose is a monosaccharide, which means it consists of a single sugar molecule.
Glycogen is a polysaccharide, which is a complex carbohydrate composed of multiple glucose units linked together.
Starch is also a polysaccharide composed of glucose units and serves as a storage form of energy in plants.

Therefore, the correct option is (C): Maltose.

Amino acids in their zwitterionic form exhibit amphoteric behavior.

Amino acids contain both an acidic carboxyl group and a basic amino group (NH2) in their structure. In their zwitterionic form, the carboxyl group loses a proton (H⁺) and becomes negatively charged , while the amino group gains a proton and becomes positively charged . This results in the formation of a zwitterion with both positive and negative charges within the same molecule.

Due to the presence of both acidic and basic groups, amino acids in their zwitterionic form can act as both acids and bases. They can donate a proton from the carboxyl group, exhibiting acidic behavior, and they can accept a proton by the amino group, displaying basic behavior. Hence, amino acids in their zwitterionic form are considered amphoteric, meaning they can exhibit both acidic and basic behavior.

Therefore, the correct option is (C): Amphoteric Behavior.

Out of the given artificial sweetening agents, the one with the highest sweetness value in comparison to cane sugar is Sucralose.
Sucralose is approximately 600 times sweeter than cane sugar (sucrose). It is a non-nutritive sweetener that is used as a sugar substitute in various food and beverage products. Saccharin is around 300-500 times sweeter than sugar, Alitame is around 2000 times sweeter, and Aspartame is around 200 times sweeter.

Therefore, the correct option is (C): Sucralose.
