QUESTION 1 One of your friends makes the statement that her diet contains no sucrose, because she does not consume table sugar. What would be an appropriate response to this statement? You're correct, because sucrose is only found in table sugar. You're incorrect, because sucrose occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables. You're incorrect, because sucrose occurs in germinating seeds and arises during digestion. You're incorrect, because sucrose is found in milk.

Your friend claims that phloem always carries sugars down a plant. What, if anything, is wrong with that statement?
Table sugar is the common name for the compound sucrose. When heated to 186 ?C, sucrose decomposes. Given this information, which statement accurately describes the stability of sucrose as it is heated to its decomposition temperature? As sucrose is heated to higher temperatures, it becomes more stable and eventually decomposes. As sucrose is heated to higher temperatures, it becomes less stable and eventually decomposes at 186 ?C. At first, sucrose becomes more stable as the temperature rises until it reaches its decomposition temperature. Then, at 186 ?C, sucrose becomes unstable and decomposes. Sucrose's stability does not change at higher temperatures.

Your friend says that today in biology class, they learned that “DNA is converted into RNA and then this becomes a protein.” Explain why your friend's statement is incorrect.
