Sugar is really a generic term.

If your talking about table sugar which is sucrose- 1 molecule of fructose bounded to 1 molecule of glucose. So one molecule of sucrose is the dimer of 1molecule glucose and 1molecule fructose. The molecular formula of Sucrose is C12H22O11.

Watch what you are calling a sugar because there are disaccharides (2sugars like sucrose) and monosaccharides (single sugar like glucose).
