{'cereals': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'maltose': [0, 1, 0, 1], 'glucose': [8, 0, 3, 5], 'fructose': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'starch': [1, 0, 0, 0]}
Cereals are a rich source of starch, which is the correct answer provided. Starch is a complex carbohydrate made up of glucose molecules joined together. It is the main storage form of energy in plants, and cereals such as wheat, rice, oats, and corn are known for their high starch content. Starch is broken down into glucose in the body, which is then used as a fuel source for various bodily functions.
The other options listed, glucose, fructose, and maltose, are all types of sugars. Although cereals may contain small amounts of these sugars, they are not a significant component of cereals. Therefore, options 2, 3, and 4 are incorrect.
