Use the following figure to answer the question.

The figure shows the structures of glucose and fructose. These two molecules are ________.
A) isotopes 
B) enantiomers 
C) cis-trans isomers 
D) structural isomers

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucose and fructose have the same molecular formula (C6H12O6) but have different structural arrangements, making them structural isomers. Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, enantiomers are mirror images of each other, and cis-trans isomers have different spatial arrangements around a double bond.
