Question

Please read the following scenario to answer the following questions.

While shopping, you settle on two types of cookies. The nutritional label for the chocolate mint cookies lists 5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 22 grams of carbohydrates, and 11 grams of protein per serving. The nutritional label for the peanut butter cookies lists 0 grams of saturated fat, 5 grams of trans fat, 26 grams of carbohydrates, and 4 grams of protein per serving.
-The amount of carbohydrates in a food product is usually separated into two groups: 1)sugars,which refers only to mono- and disaccharides,and 2)fiber.Out of the 22 grams of total carbohydrates,there are 12 grams of sugars and 2 grams of fiber in the chocolate mint cookies.All of the following statements EXCEPT for one are true.Choose the exception.
A) There are more mono- and disaccharides than cellulose in the cookies.
B) There are 8 grams of carbohydrates in the cookies that are not monosaccharides, disaccharides, or fiber.
C) The majority of the carbohydrates in the cookies will be able to be broken down via hydrolysis reactions when eaten.
D) There are 6 grams of monosaccharides and 6 grams of disaccharides in the cookies.

Answer 1

D) There are 6 grams of monosaccharides and 6 grams of disaccharides in the cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) There are more mono- and disaccharides than cellulose in the cookies. = True

The statement is true because, out of the 22 grams of total carbohydrates,there are 12 grams of sugars (mono- and disaccharides) and 2 grams of fiber in the chocolate mint cookies

B) There are 8 grams of carbohydrates in the cookies that are not monosaccharides, disaccharides, or fiber. = True

This statement is true because out of the 22 grams of total carbohydrates,there are 12 grams of sugars and 2 grams of fiber in the chocolate mint cookies. Therefore, the remaining 8 g of carbohydrates are neither sugars nor fibers.

C) The majority of the carbohydrates in the cookies will be able to be broken down via hydrolysis reactions when eaten. = True

This statement is true because out of the 22 g of carbohydrates in the cookies, only 2 g of cellulose fiber can not be broken down by the human body via hydrolysis. Other forms of carbohydrates are broken down by the body.

D) There are 6 grams of monosaccharides and 6 grams of disaccharides in the cookies. = False

This statement is false because the ratio of the monosaccharides to disaccharides in the sugar was not statedor whether the sugar present, is a monosaccharide or disaccharide.
