Nope. It forms ethanol (the stuff that gets you drunk). Vitamin C is formed in an extremely complicated biochemical pathway.
The synthesis of vitamin C begin with glucose ! See the link below.
Vitamin C is absorbed by the body as well as sugar, however vitamin C is an acid (ascoribic acid) where as sugar is a carbohydrate. More simply, a glucose. So no, vitamin C is nothing like sugar at all.
No, not even remotely close.
Glucose fermentation differential test is typically incubated at 35-37°C for 18-24 hours. This temperature and time frame allow for the optimal growth and metabolism of bacteria to observe fermentation of glucose.
Brain: glucose Heart: CoQ10, B vitamins Liver: Vitamin B12, Vitamin C Kidneys: Vitamin D, potassium Lungs: Vitamin C, magnesium
Vitamin C and Ester-C are both forms of vitamin C, but Ester-C is a patented form that is believed to be more easily absorbed by the body and less likely to cause stomach irritation.
'Normal' Vitamin C is too acidic and can often give a dog an upset stomach. You can give a Calcium based Vitamin C which I believe is called Ester C. Most animals, including dogs, make their own vitamin C in their livers from glucose. Therefore, unless a dog's liver is severely compromised, the dog will make all the vitamin C it needs whenever the need arises.
The glucose in apples highly outweighs the amount of glucose in pears, therefore, apples have a higher sugar rate, probably making apples taste better to ants. In addition, the apples have a high vitamin C level, but pears are only high in Vitamin D, which ants can easily get from sunlight. The vitamin C and glucose levels can easily be dissolved by their gastric juice and enzymes in their saliva, once glucose and vitamin C are digested in the mouth by saliva, it will leave a sugary taste, which every ant will be probable to like.
Humans lack the enzyme necessary to produce vitamin C, known as L-gulonolactone oxidase. This enzyme is required for the conversion of glucose into vitamin C in other animals, but humans have a genetic mutation that prevents this process. As a result, humans must obtain vitamin C through their diet.
Both fermentation and cellular respiration result in end products that contain C-H bonds. In cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to produce ATP, CO2, and H2O, all of which contain C-H bonds. In fermentation, depending on the type, end products such as ethanol or lactic acid are produced, and these also contain C-H bonds.
Usually no. Sugary foods are usually junk foods that have little or no nutritional value. That's not to say that no sugary foods have Vitamin C. For example, a pie made with fruit that contains Vitamin C will have the Vitamin C from the fruit in it.
Vitamins are broken down into their active forms in the body, such as retinol for vitamin A or ascorbic acid for vitamin C. These active forms can then be utilized by the body for various physiological functions.
