Video transcript

Welcome back everyone to another video, which one of saccharide is also known as fruit sugar. And we are given four answer choices. The first one states glucose. And we essentially have to recall that glucose is the primary energy source for cells. Essentially, it is not known as fruit sugar. Option B states fructose. And we have to recall that it is found in fruits and honey and it is used in the body for energy. Basically, one of its names is fruit sugar. So fructose is correct and then we're given C galactose. Now galactose is part of lactose, the sugar found in milk and knowing that we can sell while galactose cannot be fruit sugar, right? It is found in milk in these states. None of the above which is incorrect because we know that option B is the correct option. So we can conclude that fructose. Option B is a monosaccharide which is also known as fruit sugar. Thank you for watching.
