Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The chemical formula of fructose has to be rewrite in-order to show that a carbohydrate can be thought of as “carbon plus water”.
Concept introduction:
Chemical formula is a representation of a compound by showing number of each element presented in it.
Macronutrients are needed in large amounts in our body and three important examples include fats, proteins and carbohydrates
The macronutrient carbohydrates are used as a fuel for energy for body heat and work.

Concept introduction:
Isomer: The molecule has same molecular formula and attached for different
(c)
Interpretation:
The different isomers of fructose possess whether same sweetness have to be identified and explained.
Concept introduction:
Glucose and fructose are example for hexoses which are six carbon sugars.
