Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides that have the same chemical formula, C6H12O6. However, they do not react the same chemically. Which of the following generalizations can explain this? (5 points)
a
Monosaccharides serve different cellular functions, and they are only involved in reactions in which they are needed.
b
The atoms of monosaccharides are arranged differently, and the different shape gives each monosaccharide unique properties.
c
Monosaccharides have different properties, but the disaccharides they form when combined with other molecules will have the same properties.
d
The atoms of monosaccharides are arranged similarly, but the monomers from which they are formed have different physical and chemical properties.
