Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which monosaccharide is found in fruit?
A
glucose
B
fructose
C
galactose
D
sucrose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fructose is a monosaccharide. Fructose bonded with glucose, another monosaccharide, forms sucrose, or table sugar. Fructose also occurs naturally in abundance in fruits (Table 1) and in lesser amounts in tuberous vegetables such as onions and potatoes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fructose is a monosaccharide, or single sugar, that has the same chemical formula as glucose but a different molecular structure. Sometimes called fruit sugar, fructose is found in fruit, some vegetables, honey, and other plants. Fructose and other sugars are carbohydrates, an important source of energy for the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fructose is a type of sugar known as a monosaccharide. Like other sugars, fructose provides four calories per gram. Fructose is also known as “fruit sugar” because it primarily occurs naturally in many fruits. It also occurs naturally in other plant foods such as honey, sugar beets, sugar cane and vegetables.

Detailed explanation-4: -People who have fructose intolerance should limit high-fructose foods, such as juices, apples, grapes, watermelon, asparagus, peas and zucchini. Some lower fructose foods-such as bananas, blueberries, strawberries, carrots, avocados, green beans and lettuce-may be tolerated in limited quantities with meals.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fructose, or “fruit sugar, ” is a monosaccharide like glucose ( 1 ). It’s naturally found in fruit, honey, agave, and most root vegetables. Moreover, it’s commonly added to processed foods in the form of high fructose corn syrup. Fructose is sourced from sugar cane, sugar beets, and corn.
