Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answers are: Glucose, Sucrose.

Explanation:

• The given question is an example of a Chemical Reaction.
• A Chemical Reaction can be defined as the process by which two or more substances interact with each other in such a way that a rearrangement of chemical bonds and molecular position occurs in them. This alteration in bonds and molecular position results in the formation of a new substance.
• In a chemical reaction, the substances which are responsible for interacting with each other are called the Reactants.
• In a chemical reaction, the new substances those are formed are called the Products.
• A Chemical Reaction can be represented as follows:

                                W  +   X   →   Y +  Z.

• Here, W and X are reacting to form Y and Z.
• So, W and X are the Reactants.
• Y and Z are the Products.
• As the Reactants react to form the Products, so the arrow → is represented from the Reactant to the Product.
• In the given question,

                           glucose + fructose → sucrose + water

• As arrow → always direct from Reactants to the Products, so the left side of the arrow will be the reactants and the right side of the arrow will be the products.
• Hence, the Reactants are Glucose and Fructose.
• The Products are Sucrose and Water.
• So, Glucose and Fructose undergo chemical reaction to form Sucrose and Water.
