Do glucose and fructose fit together easily form a sucrose molecule?

Yes, they do. Glucose and Fructose go through a condensation reaction to make sucrose (since H2O is taken out of the equation). Fructose and sucrose are isomers.

When sucrose is digested what is formed?
You get the molecule of glucose and fructose from the molecule of sucrose.
What two sugars combine to make sucrose?
Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of an alpha-glucose and an alpha-fructose. It has an alpha 1-2 glycosidic linkage between the two molecules.
Sucrose is formed when glucose is joined to fructose?
The disaccharide molecule, sucrose is not formed from two glucose molecules. Sucrose is formed from one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule.
Chemical composition of sucrose?
a molecule of fructose and a molecule of glucose
Is sucrose a monosacchride?
No. sucrose is disaccharide. One sucrose molecule is composed of one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule.
Is sucrose formed from frutose and glucose by a rearrangement?
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.
What is the difference between sucrose glucose and fructose?
Sucrose is a disaccharide: it's a glucose molecule bonded to a fructose molecule. Its formula is C12H22O11.Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides, but the atoms are arranged differently. Pictures can't be posted here, but the structure of these two molecules is easy to find on the Web.
Monosaccharides produced by hydrolysis of sucrose?
You have the enzyme called as sucrase. This enzyme is present in the brush border of the cells from intestine. This enzyme splits one molecule of sucrose into one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose. This reaction takes place during absorption.
What Molecule is composed of glucose bonded to fructose?
The two monomers, glucose and fructose, combine to make the disaccharide sucrose.
What results from the hydrolysis of sucrose by the enzyme sucrase?
Sucrose in a disaccharide composed of one glucose and one fructose molecule. Upon hydrolysis the disaccharide is broken up into its constituent monosaccharaides, with a resulting loss of one molecule of water for each molecule of sucrose hydrolyzed.
How is the original sugar sucrose different from the resulting sugar glucose and fructose?
Sucrose is a larger molecule made up of two sugars glucose and fructose. These two are about half the size of sucrose.
Is sucrose a substrate?
The Substrate for amylase are starch (amylose and Amylopectin), glycogen, and various Oligosaccharides.
