Question

in plant cells, glucose and fructose can react to form sucrose. plants with high sucrose, like beets and sugar cane, are harvested by people to make granulate baking and cooking. the model shows the chemical structure of sucrose. select the true statements. beets are a source of sucrose. sucrose can be made in plant cells. monosaccharides are made by joining two disaccharides. fructose and glucose have the same chemical structure.

Explanation:

• For "Beets are a source of sucrose": The text states "Plants with high sucrose, like beets and sugar cane, are harvested...", so beets are a sucrose source.
• For "Sucrose can be made in plant cells": The text says "In plant cells, glucose and fructose can react to form sucrose", confirming this.
• "Monosaccharides are made by joining two disaccharides" is false (disaccharides form from two monosaccharides, not vice versa).
• "Fructose and glucose have the same chemical structure" is false (their structures in the model differ, e.g., glucose has a hexagon ring, fructose a pentagon ring).

Answer:

A. Beets are a source of sucrose.
B. Sucrose can be made in plant cells.
