WILL REWARD/ HIGHER RANK :)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?
Monosaccharides serve different cellular functions, and they are only involved in reactions in which they are needed.
The atoms of monosaccharides are arranged differently, and the different shape gives each monosaccharide unique properties.
Monosaccharides have different properties, but the disaccharides they form when combined with other molecules will have the same properties.
The atoms of monosaccharides are arranged similarly, but the monomers from which they are formed have different physical and chemical properties.

The atoms of monosaccharides are arranged differently, and the different shape gives each monosaccharide unique properties. i just took the test and got it correct

Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides that have the same chemical formula, C6H12O6 but they do not react the same chemically because the atoms of monosaccharides are arranged differently, and the different shape gives each monosaccharide unique properties.

What are monosaccharides?

  • "These are the simplest carbohydrates (energy giving components) with chemical formula (CH2O)x."
  • This are also known as simple sugars.
  • They consists of unbranched single bonded chains.
  • Example: glucose and fructose.
  • Glucose is aldohexose, having aldose sugar-carbonyl group at end/terminals. The ring structure formed by it is pyranose.
  • Fructose is ketohexose, having ketose sugar-carbonyl group in inner part. The ring structure formed by it is furan. It is mainly found in fruits so it is also known as fruit sugar.
  • The arrangement of atoms are different in glucose and fructose although they have same chemical formula which is responsible for their different shapes and has different properties as well.

Hence, the correct answer is: The atoms of monosaccharides are arranged differently, and the different shape gives each monosaccharide unique properties.
