No, it is a polysaccharide and like other polysaccharides it is a non reducing sugar.

What kind of sugar is used by organisms?
Organisms use all types of sugars, ex. we eat lactose (milk) fructose (fruit) and sucrose (white sugar used in cooking) . Organisms break the sugars down into their parts, ex lactose= galactose+glucose
What does a plant makes as food?
Carbohydrates such as starches and sugars like glucose and fructose, for example.
Can saliva dissolve sugar?
No, saliva doesn't contain reducing sugars, but it does contain enzymes that break down starch. Even so, starch is not a reducing sugar either - it is a polysaccharide.
What is a glucose blood test for?
To test for the amount of sugars (glucose) in the blood.
What is one of two monosaccharides made by plants?
Plants make different sugars including sucrose, dextrose and fructose.
Are glucose and fructose reduced sugars?
Glucose and fructose are reducing sugars.
Is glucose and fructose reducing sugars?
yes, both glucose and fructose are reducing sugars. but the sucrose is non-reducing sugar although it is formed from two reducing sugars.
Is xylose a reducing sugar?
Ribose: Ribose is an Aldopentose sugar, and all aldose sugars are reducing sugars. The non-reducing sugars are ketose sugars which contain a ketone functional group. For ex: Ketose = Sucrose. For ex: Aldose = Glucose, Fructose, Lactose
Do bananas contain 3 natural sugars?
Bananas contain 3 naturalsugars (sucrose, fructose and glucose).
Why sucrose does not give a positive Benedict's test but hydrolyzed sucrose does give a positive beneditcts test?
Sucrose does not contain a free aldehyde or ketone group needed to reduce Benedict's reagent, so it does not give a positive Benedict's test. When sucrose is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose by acid or enzymes, the resulting glucose can then react with Benedict's reagent due to the presence of the free aldehyde group, producing a positive test result.
Does maple sirup contain fructose and glucose?
NO - It consists primarily of sucroseand water, with small amounts of other sugars. The imitationproducts are those that contain fructose.
Are the products of sucrose hydrolysis reducing sugars?
No, sucrose is not a reducing agent. The disaccharide sucrose can be 'inverted' breaking the molecule into the monosaccharides glucose and fructose, both of which are reducing sugars. This is commonly done by enzymatic action.
Why is the Benedict test not exclusive to glucose?
The Benedict test is not exclusive to glucose because it can detect the presence of reducing sugars in general. This means that it can also detect other reducing sugars such as fructose, lactose, and maltose, in addition to glucose. The test relies on the reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I) in the presence of reducing sugars, forming a colored precipitate.
When you add Fructose and fructose does it gives you glucose?
No. Fructose and glucose are two different, simple sugars or monosaccharides. Fructose is a ketohexose. Glucose is an aldohexose.
What is fructose and glucose examples of?
Fructose and glucose are examples of simple sugars, which are carbohydrates that provide energy to the body. They are commonly found in fruits, honey, and sweeteners like corn syrup.
What sugars are in bananas?
sucrose, fructose and glucose.
What are glucose fructose and ribose examples of?
Sugars.
