Glucose and fructose both have the chemical formula (C₆H₁₂O₆)so they are considered
A)isotopes.
B)polymers.
C)monomers.
D)isomers.
E)isogenic.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucose and fructose have the same chemical formula but differ in their structural arrangement of atoms. Therefore, they are considered isomers. Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, polymers are made up of repeating monomers, monomers are single units that can be chemically bonded to form polymers, and isogenic refers to individuals that have the same genotype. None of these definitions apply to glucose and fructose.
