Sucrose is also called table sugar. Sucrose (C12H22O11) is a disaccharide made up of one molecule each of glucose (C6H12O6) and fructose (C6H12O6). The C1 (carbon 1) of glucose is covalently bonded to the C2 (carbon2) of fructose called 1-2 gluclsidic linkage. After ingestion, sucrose is hydrolyzed/ digested by pancreatic enzyme sucrase or invertase to its individual components of glucose and fructose. The glucose is an instant source of energy. It is transported through the blood to the interstitial fluid. From this fluid the glucose is taken up by the cells/ tissues. As soon as glucose enters the cells glycolysis occurs further the product of glycolysis (pyruvate) is oxidized to acetalcoenzyme which is further oxidized to CO2 and water enzymatically (TCA cycle) to supply 38 ATPs in Bacteria (prokaryotes) and 36 ATPs in mitochondrion of Eukaryotes. Fructose that is formed is transformed by the enzymes as fructose 6-phosphate which is an intermediate of glycolysis and the process of oxidation by TCA continues to provide the ATP.
through isomerization that happens in the liver. remember glucose and fructose have the same molecular formula. so it's just repositioning of OH elimination of ketone part of the fructose.
They are not directly linked but through an oxidation reaction .
Fructose intolerance is an inherited disorder passed on to children through their parents' genes. Both the mother and father have the gene that causes the condition, but may not have symptoms of fructose intolerance themselves.
Glucose and fructose are both six-carbon rings with hydroxyl (OH) groups bound to the carbons. To form sucrose one water molecule is released so the two monosaccharides can bind to one another.
Fructose , after being absrobed ,goes through two pathways. Either it forms fructose-6-phosphate (by hexokinase) or it gets phosphorylated to fructose-1-phosphate by fructokinase found in liver.since liver contains much of he fructose obtained from diet fructose-1-phosphate is produced in appreciable amounts. Fructose-1-phosphate is acted upun by ALDOLASE B which breaks it into glecraldehyde and Dihydroxyacetone phosphate. both these enter glycolysis and since reactions catalyzed be hexokinase and epecially PFK-1 have been skipped in Fructose-1-phosphate metabolism hence glycolysis occurs faster ( PFK1 reaction is the main rate limiting step in glycolysis)
Glucose 6 Phosphate is converted into fructose 6 phosphate through the process of glycolysis in preparation for phosphorylation. This is done when cells need carbon or energy for synthesis.
The process by which glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid is called glycolysis.

Glycolysis is the conversion of glucose through a series of intermediates to eventually produce 2 pyruvates + 4 ATP + 2 NADH.
The fructose-1-phosphate inhibits gluconeogenesis through the enzyme aldolase.
Glycolysis is the first step in making ATP through cellular respiration. Glycolysis is broken down into pyruvate which is made into Acetyl(sp?) CoA when it goes through the mitochondrial membrane. This change creates molecules called NADH. NADH goes through the citric acid cycle which produces FADH. The NADH and the FADH carry electrons to the electron transport chain which produces ATP through phosphorylation(sp?). So.... With the process of glycolysis, your body produces ATP which allows you to live.

Energy in the form of ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate). Glycolysis takes 1 mole of glucose and turns it into energy the body can use.in glycolysis enzymes convert glucose to pyruvatePyruvate. And if oxygen is not available, then lactate.conversion of glucose to pyruvic acid
They are not directly linked but through an oxidation reaction .
Just two.Four are produced by substrate level phosphorylation but two ATP are needed in the energy investment phase of glycolysis.
Glycolysis itself anaerobic process and forms pyruvate. If there is oxygen present, pyruvate is reduced to acetyl-coenzyme A; if there is no oxygen present, pyruvate goes through fermentation, forming either lactic acid or ethanol.
