A different between fructose and glucose is that fructose is much sweeter than glucose. Also fructose, when eaten and absorbed, releases its energy slower than glucose and can metabolize without the need of insulin.

∙ 11y agoFructose and sucrose both fall under the colloquial designation of sugars. Biochemically, they're both carbohydrates -- fructose is a monosaccharide and sucrose is a disaccharide, meaning that fructose is made of a single sugar unit, while sucrose is made of two sugar units. Both taste sweet, and both are common in food substances.
