Sugars are technically called carbohydrates, referring to the fact that their formulae are only multiples of C(H2O). Hexose therefore has six carbons, twelve hydrogen and six oxygen atoms. Glucose is a hexose. Choose from among the following another hexose.

1. Fructose 2. Erythrose
3. Ribulose 4. Ribose

Consider the given two statements:
Statement 1: Iodine test can detect the presence of starch but not of cellulose in a given sample.
Statement 2: Starch forms helical secondary structure and can hold iodine molecules while cellulose does not contain complex helices and hence cannot hold iodine.
1. Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 correctly explains Statement 1
2. Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct but Statement 2 does not correctly explain Statement 1
3. Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is incorrect
4. Statement 1 is incorrect but Statement 2 is correct
