Question

The diagram below shows how glucose andfructose chemically combine to form sucrose.A.Different types of atoms are found in eachbiomolecule involved in chemical reactions.B.Chemical reactions can create products that aremore complex than the reactants.C.Chemical reactions can create products that areless complex than the reactants.D.No atoms are rearranged in the formation oflarger carbon-based molecules.

Answer 1

The correct option is D. No atoms are rearranged in the formation of larger carbon-based molecules. Both molecules lost a Hydrogen atom, and one lost an oxygen atom, which allowed the union of both molecules without major changes to the chemical structure of both sugars.
