Question

a disaccharide is a carbohydrate made of two monosaccharides bonded together. one example of a disaccharide is sucrose. in plant cells, glucose and fructose can react to form sucrose. plants with high levels of sucrose, like beets and sugar cane, are harvested by people to make granulated sugar for baking and cooking. the model shows the chemical structure of sucrose. select the true statements. disaccharides are made by joining two monosaccharides. glucose is a disaccharide. plants with high levels of sucrose are used to make granulated sugar.

Explanation:

1. For the statement "Disaccharides are made by joining two monosaccharides": The text says "A disaccharide is a carbohydrate made of two monosaccharides bonded together", so this is true.
2. For the statement "Glucose is a disaccharide": Glucose is a monosaccharide (as it is one of the two that form sucrose, a disaccharide), so this is false.
3. For the statement "Plants with high levels of sucrose are used to make granulated sugar": The text states "Plants with high levels of sucrose, like beets and sugar cane, are harvested by people to make granulated sugar for baking and cooking", so this is true.

Answer:

1. Disaccharides are made by joining two monosaccharides.
2. Plants with high levels of sucrose are used to make granulated sugar.
