Sucrose is a disaccharhide; each monomer unit consists of one molecule of glucose & one molecule of fructose (each of which have the same chemical formula of C6H12O6); they become joined together by a condensation reaction, meaning that one molecule of water (H20) is lost between them. The chemical formula for sucrose therefore becomes C6H22O11

∙ 9y agoTwo monosaccharide molecules are needed to form one sucrose molecule because a sucrose molecule is a disaccharide and a disaccharide contains two times as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms.

What is the most abundant naturally occurring polysaccharide?
In what? The world? Probably glucose, which is the basic monomer unit used to make both starch and cellulose.
What disaccharide is composed of one monomer each of glucose and fructose?
Saccharose, sucrose, table sugar.
What does fructose and glucose make?
sucrose
What does sucrose have to do with Halloween?
sucrose is a type of sugar, found in many types of candy. SO, if you are trick-or-treating on Halloween and get candy you are eating sucrose. Or, you can dress up as a sucrose molecule, C6H12O6. Tip: stick with marshmallows make great Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms

How glucose is a monomer?
monomer means the sinlge unit or simpliest unit of a bond, glucose is the simpliiest unit a sugar bond is going to come down to and it is a monomer of other sugars which are disaccrides such as maltose and sucrose
