Carbohydrates that are not cleaved to smaller carbohydrates on attempted hydrolysis are calledA. monosaccharideB. DisaccharideC. oligosaccharideD. polysaccharide

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates which cannot be hydrolysed to smaller molecules, their general formula is `(CH_(2) O)_(n)` where `n = 3` to 10.
For example, galactose is a monosaccharide.
Oligosaccharides on hydrolysis could yield 2 to 10 monosaccharides.
