In a free state, glucose is present in:
Correct answer: A. Dates
- A. Dates
- B. Amylase
- C. Glycogen
- D. Cellulose
Explanation
Glucose is a simple sugar that naturally occurs in its free state in many fruits, including dates. Dates are known for their high sugar content, which includes glucose. In contrast, amylase is an enzyme that aids in the digestion of complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars and does not contain free glucose itself. Glycogen and cellulose are both polysaccharides: glycogen serves as an energy storage molecule in animals, and cellulose is a structural component in the cell walls of plants. Neither of these polysaccharides contains free glucose, as glucose in these forms is part of larger polymer structures.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
