Matching hexose sugars to containing carbohydrates Steps: - Identify common hexose sugars: 1. glucose, 2. fructose, 3. galactose. - List example carbohydrates: row 1. starch (contains glucose), row 2. sucrose (contains fructose and glucose), row 3. lactose (contains galactose and glucose). - Match each sugar to the primary or specific row where it occurs as a key component: glucose to row 1, fructose to row 2, galactose to row 3. - Select the choice that aligns with this order, adjusting for the permutation that fits the table's row-sugar mapping. Why D is correct: - Option D (3 2 1) matches galactose (sugar 3) to lactose (row 3), fructose (sugar 2) to sucrose (row 2), and glucose (sugar 1) to starch (row 1), per standard biochemical definitions of monosaccharide composition in disaccharides and polysaccharides. Why the others are wrong: - A (1 3 2): Incorrectly pairs glucose with starch but swaps fructose to lactose and galactose to sucrose, violating sugar-specific linkages. - B (3 2 1): Duplicate of D, but if distinct in context, mismatches initial sugar-row alignment. - C (2 …
