Answer 2

The true statement is: A molecule of sorbitol contains three more oxygen atoms than a molecule of glutamine does.

• Lactose has a total of 12 + 22 + 11 = 45 atoms while fructose has a total of 6 + 12 + 6 = 24 atoms. Thus a molecule of lactose has more atoms than a molecule of fructose.
• Sorbital has 6 oxygen atoms and glutamine has 3 oxygen atoms.
• Lactose has 12 Carbon atoms and sorbitol has only 6. Thus a molecule of lactose contains twice as many carbon atoms as a molecule of sorbitol does.
• A molecule of fructose has 6 + 12 + 6 = 24 atoms and that of glutamine has 5 + 10 + 2 + 3 = 20 atoms. Thus A molecule of fructose contains four more atoms than a molecule of glutamine.
