The correct Answer is:
To determine where sucrose is commonly found, we will analyze each option provided in the question. 1. **Understanding Sucrose**: Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of two monosaccharides: glucose and fructose. It is formed through a dehydration reaction where a glycosidic bond is created. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **(a) Germinating seeds**: While seeds do contain carbohydrates, they primarily store energy in the form of starch and not sucrose. - **(b) Sugar cane**: Sugar cane is known for its high sucrose content. It is one of the primary sources of sucrose, which is often extracted and refined to produce table sugar. - **(c) Milk**: Milk contains lactose, which is a different disaccharide made up of glucose and galactose, not sucrose. - **(d) Starch**: Starch is a polysaccharide and does not contain sucrose. It is primarily made up of glucose units. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, sucrose is commonly found in **(b) sugar cane**. ### Final Answer: Sucrose is commonly found in **(b) sugar cane**. ---
