What weighs more glucose or fructose?
Glucose and fructose are monosaccharide isomers having the same chemical formula, but different structural formulas. Because each molecule of both glucose and fructose have the same number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxgyen atoms, they have the same atomic weight.
Why glucose and fructose form same osazone?
Glucose, Fructose and Mannose give the same osazone because these sugars have the same configuration of carbons 3, 4, 5 and 6. osazone formation only affects carbons 1 and 2.
How tdoes the ratio of H to O atoms compare in glucose and frucose?
2 to 1. This is true of all carbohydrates, not just glucose and fructose.
Does fructose become glucose when eaten?
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.
What are glucose and fructose called because they have the same number of atoms?
Isotomers
Is the ratio the same in glucose and frucrtose?
Yes. Glucose and fructose are isomers, having the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. Because they have the same formula, the ratios of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms are the same for both glucose and fructose.
Formula of glucose and fructose?
The chemical formula for glucose is C6H12O6.
What weighs more glucose or fructose?
Glucose and fructose are monosaccharide isomers having the same chemical formula, but different structural formulas. Because each molecule of both glucose and fructose have the same number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxgyen atoms, they have the same atomic weight.
Why osazone obtained from D-glucose and D-fructose have the same melting points?
glucose and fructose form same osazone crystals because carbon no 1 to carbon no 6 are identical both in glucose and in fructose
Do glucose and fructose share the same chemical composition?
No
What is c2h6?
C6H12O6 is fructose , glucose and galactose (They are isomers, which means that they have the same molecular formulae) C6H12O6 is fructose , glucose and galactose (They are isomers, which means that they have the same molecular formulae)
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.
Why glucose and fructose form same osazone?
Glucose, Fructose and Mannose give the same osazone because these sugars have the same configuration of carbons 3, 4, 5 and 6. osazone formation only affects carbons 1 and 2.
Is High Fructose Corn Syrup a completely different chemical from regular fructose and if so what is the chemical formula?
High fructose corn syrup, HFCS, is a blend of two simple sugars, fructose and glucose. Both sugars have the same chemical formula, C6H12O6, but have unique chemical structures. "Regular" fructose, found in fruit or sucrose ( table sugar) has the same chemical formula. Sucrose, however, is a disaccharide of fructose and glucose which means that the fructose and glucose are chemically linked. Therefore, the ratio of the fructose to glucose in sucrose is precisely 50:50, 1:1, and the %fructose cannot exceed 50%. This is not the case with HFCS. Depending on the needs of the manufacturers the %fructose can range from 42% to 90%. Dairy and baked products use 42%, Pepsi and Coke use 55% fructose, and low-cal products may contain as much as 90% fructose.
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.
How tdoes the ratio of H to O atoms compare in glucose and frucose?
2 to 1. This is true of all carbohydrates, not just glucose and fructose.
Name the sugar which is found in fruit?
Fruitcose and Glucose [fructose, might be the same as fruitcose]
