Yes. Glucose is an isomer of fructose and vice versa. Both have the molecular formula C6H12O6. Isomers are compounds with the same number of different elements per molecule but differ in, for example, their structural formulae.

∙ 15y agoGlucose is a monosaccharide sugar. The chemical formula for glucose is C6H12O6. Carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) are all elements that have isotopes. So glucose itself is not considered an isotope, but the elements that make it up have isotopic forms.

∙ 15y agoYes. And no, that's not an answer from a wise guy. A chemical isomer is a different "version" of a substance that has the same chemical formula but with a different molecular structure, and, therefore, different chemical and physical properties. Both fructose and glucose have C6H12O6 as their chemical formula, and each is an isomer of the other.

∙ 11y agoGlucose and fructose are having the same molecular formula of C6H12O6 but are having different functional groups. Glucose is having aldehyde group and fructose is having ketone group. hence they are called as Functional isomers

∙ 14y agoyes they are. they are sugars but they are isomers.. good luck.

∙ 13y agoGalactose and tagatose. All three molecules have the formula C6H12O6.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes. Glucose and fructose have identical molecular formula: C6H12O6.

What is molecular formula for fructose?
Fructose or fruit Sugar (also levulose or laevulose) is a 6-carbon polyhydroxyketone. It is an isomer of glucose, meaning both have the same molecular formula (C6H12O6), but they differ structurally. Glucose is an aldehyde i.s.o. ketone.For structural formula cf. 'Related links'
What are the other isomers of fructose?
The isomer of fructose are D-fructose,alpha D-fructofuranose, alpha D-Fructopyranose.
Formula of glucose and fructose?
The chemical formula for glucose is C6H12O6.
What are the examples of non polar solute?
glucose,fructose,solid iodine,hydrocarbons
What functional group are found in a monosaccharide?
Monosaccharides are classified by the number of carbon atoms and the types of functional groups present in the sugar. For example, glucose and fructose have the same chemical formula (C6H12O6), but a different structure: glucose having an aldehyde (internal hydroxyl shown as: -OH) and fructose having a keto group (internal double-bond O, shown as: =O). This functional group difference, as small as it seems, accounts for the greater sweetness of fructose as compared to glucose.
What is a monoscheride that is an isomer of glucose?
The monosaccharides fructose and galactose are isomers of glucose.
Is Glucose and Fructose a geometric isomer?
Nope. They are structural isomers.
What is molecular formula for fructose?
Fructose or fruit Sugar (also levulose or laevulose) is a 6-carbon polyhydroxyketone. It is an isomer of glucose, meaning both have the same molecular formula (C6H12O6), but they differ structurally. Glucose is an aldehyde i.s.o. ketone.For structural formula cf. 'Related links'
What do glucose and fructose have in common?
Glucose and fructose have some things in common. The most common thing they have is that they are both simple sugars.
Two forms of c6h1206 that are simple sugars are glucose and?
The other sugar is fructose. Fructose is a structural isomer of glucose. It has the same chemical formula but an altered structure.
What is glucoes formula?
Glucose is C6H12O6 For your own curiosity; sucrose is C12H22O11 fructose is also C6H12O6 but it is structural isomer of glucose.
Is Phosphorylation found in glycolysis?
Yes, the early stages of glycolysis involve phosphorylation. glucose + P -> glucose-6-phosphate -> (fructose-6-phosphate = an isomer) -> fructose -1,6 - bisphosphate. Therefore, in the first 4 steps, the starting substance glucose is phosphorylated twice to give fructose -1,6- bisphosphate, which can be split into two triose phosphates.
What are the other isomers of fructose?
The isomer of fructose are D-fructose,alpha D-fructofuranose, alpha D-Fructopyranose.
What is the functional isomer of ether?
alcohol
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.
Are glucose and fructose reduced sugars?
Glucose and fructose are reducing sugars.
What enzyme changes glucose to frutose?
The enzyme that breaks down sucrose to glucose and fructose is called sucrase.
