Question

which of these is not a property of glucose?
it is the body’s most important fuel.
it is a disaccharide.
it is formed from c, h, and o atoms
it is a monosaccharide.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Glucose is the body's key fuel (so "It is the body’s most important fuel" is a property).
  • Glucose has the formula \( C_6H_{12}O_6 \), so it is formed from C, H, O (so "It is formed from C, H, and O atoms" is a property).
  • Glucose is a monosaccharide (a single sugar unit), while disaccharides are made of two monosaccharides (e.g., sucrose is glucose + fructose). So "It is a disaccharide" is not a property of glucose.
  • Glucose is a monosaccharide (so "It is a monosaccharide" is a property).

Answer:

It is a disaccharide
