Fructose and glucose are examples of .?
isomers
Why is it important that many monosaccharides are isomers of glucose?
It is important because glucose is a key energy source for living organisms, so its isomers can be easily converted to glucose for energy production. This allows for flexibility in utilizing different monosaccharides based on the organism's needs and the availability of carbohydrates in the diet. Additionally, isomers of glucose can also serve as structural components in various biomolecules.
What are glucose and fructose called because they have the same number of atoms?
Isotomers
How many isomers for dibromopropane?
There are two isomers for dibromopropane: 1,2-dibromopropane and 2,2-dibromopropane.
Is the ratio the same in glucose and fructose?
Glucose and fructose are isomers, with the same empiric chemical formula but with a different structure and properties.
Fructose and glucose are examples of .?
isomers
How many possible isomers of glucose exist and what are some examples?
Your question is not specific enough - what do you mean by isomer? If you mean stereoisomers (likely question with biomolecules) the two most common stereoisomers of glucose are L-glucose and D-glucose. There are 4 chiral carbons in glucose so there would be 42 or 16 possible stereoisomers. The other most important stereoisomers would be mannose and galactose.
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)
Glucose and Fructose are examples of A. polysaccharides B. disaccharides C. isomers D. plastids?
Monosaccharides
What is monosaccharide isomers?
Two monosaccharides with the same chemical formulae, but different chemical structures. An example would be the monosaccharides glucose and mannose, both of which are C6H12O6 but they differ in structure.
Is Glucose and Fructose a geometric isomer?
Nope. They are structural isomers.
Why is it important that many monosaccharides are isomers of glucose?

Additionally, isomers of glucose can also serve as structural components in various biomolecules.
Are alpha and beta glucose structural isomers?
no they are not. they are stereoisomers(configurational) Structural isomers. isomers that differ in the arrangement literally. so the difference between the cylic glucose molecule that is a ring and the non ring glucose. these two are structural isomers. if molecule A and B have the same molecular formula but look different and are thus arranged differently they are structural isomers. conformational isomers. these are isomers that differ from each other simply by the rotation around a single bond. if molecule B can be twisted around the single bonds to get molecule A then A and B are conformational isomers. configurational isomers (stereoisomers). if molecules A and B do not fall into the above two categories, then they are stereoisomers. these type of isomers differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms. so if molecule A was the mirror image of molecule B then these two molecules would be a type of stereoisomers called (Enantiomers). for alpha glucose the OH group attached to the anomeric carbon is not the same as teh CH2OH group on the other side of the hemiacetal( on the other side of the ether oxygen.). ie. if the OH is axial down then the CH2OH is equatorial up. and vice versa. the molecule is beta glucose when these two substituents are the same in this aspect. both either equatorial or axial. the difference between axial and equatorial is spatial adn in the arrangement of atoms connected to the carbon ring and solely a difference in this aspect (alpha or beta) means the molecules are stereoisomers.
Are maltose and sucrose isomers?
Yes, sucrose and maltose are structural isomers because they have the same simple molecular formula which is C12H22O11. This is the formula for a disaccharide, which is two monosaccharides combined together through dehydration synthesis which causes the disaccharide to lose two hydrogens and an oxygen atom, which is why the formula is C12H22O11 instead of C12H24O12.

How many isomers for dibromopropane?
There are two isomers for dibromopropane: 1,2-dibromopropane and 2,2-dibromopropane.
What prefix is used for isomers?
Isomers do not have prefix. See any prefix in glucose,galactose,or sucrose?(these three simple sugars are Isomers)
