Disaccharide
glucose and fructose can be combined into the disaccharide sucrose
Monosaccharides are the simplest sugars: - Glucose - Fructose - Galactose - Xylose - Ribose
Bonds can also form between the 1 and 6 carbon of two glucose molecules forming a 1-6 alpha-glycosidic bond. Because of the structure of glycosidic bonds, the two monosaccharides in a disaccharide do not have to be the same.
A combination of many disaccharides will yield a polysaccharaide, such as starch or cellulose
A one word answer would be "YES". Depending on the kind of sugars meant, each kind of sugar has its own chemical formula. Table sugar is sucrose. It is made from two simpler sugars called glucose and fructose. Glucose is also sometimes called dextrose. Glucose is a little less sweet than sucrose, and fructose is a sweeter than sucrose. When sucrose is heated in the presence of an acid (such as vinegar or lemon juice), it breaks down into glucose and fructose, and the resulting syrup is sweeter than sucrose. The syrup is called "invert sugar". Simple sugars can join to form long chains. Glucose units can chain up to form amylose,the starch in corn. There are many different types of simple sugars, and they can combine into many more types of complex sugars. The backbone of DNA is a chain made of sugars.
