Sucrose is table sugar and is a member of the class of compounds known as carbohydrates. The name carbohydrate literally describes the composition of these chemicals. They are made of carbon and the components of water; hydrogen and oxygen. The chemical formula of sucrose is C12H22O11. Note the ratio of Hydrogen to Oxygen; H22O11 reduces to H2O.

What is glucose plus fructose?
2 glucose molecules join to form a molecule of maltose while releasing a molecule of water. The reaction is a condensation reaction.
What is a complex carbohydrate and disaccharide of two simple sugars?
All polysaccharides must contain glycosidic linkages because they are what bind monosaccharides to eachother. The easiest example I can think of is maltose. Two glucose molecules are binded together by glycosidic linkages that form the maltose molecule.
Structure of carbohydrates?
The structural elements of carbohydrates are carbon,hydrogen and oxygen. The carhons form open ring-structures with hydrogen and -OH attached to them. So for instance you get hexose sugars composed of C6 structures like glucose, and pentose sugars (C5) et cetera. These single units form polimers. Two glucoses form the disaccharide maltose. Glucose + galactose form lactose (milk sugar) and glucose + fructose form sucrose (table sugar).
What kind of molecule is formed when glucose an fructose are combined?
glucose and fructose can be combined into the disaccharide sucrose
Does caramel have sugar?
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.
Many names for sugars end in what suffix?
The suffix used in biochemistry to form the names of sugars is '-ose'.
Is cholesterol a type of disaccharide?
No. It is not a sugar (a saccharide) but a lipid (fat).
What are the products of hydrolysis of maltose?
When a molecule of lactose is hydrolyzed the monomers that had linked together to form lactose will be pulled away from each other through the addition of lactose. Lactose is made from GLUCOSE AND GALACTOSE, henceforth these two monomers will emerge through the hydrolysis of lactose. Hope this helps...
Chemical structure of sugar is?
Sugar = Sucrose = C12(H2O)11 or C12H22O11 The general category of "sugar molecules" contains two divisions: sugars made of five carbon rings and sugars made of six carbon rings. Then there are different functional groups attached to the rings and the rings may be linked together to form disaccharides (such as sucrose) or polysaccharides.
What are examples of monosaccharide?
Glucose and Fructose are examples of monosaccharides.
What is disaccharides?
A disaccharide is the carbohydrate formed when two monosaccharides undergo a condensation reaction which involves the elimination of a small molecule, such as water, from the functional groups. Like monosaccharides, disaccharides form an aqueous solution when dissolved in water. Three common examples are sucrose, lactose, and maltose. Sucrose is made by bonding a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule together, lactose (milk sugar) made from a glucose and a galactose.
What is glucose plus fructose?
2 glucose molecules join to form a molecule of maltose while releasing a molecule of water. The reaction is a condensation reaction.
How do you distinguish between glucose and maltose using Benedicts reagent?
Sucrose is made by the glosidic linkage between glucose and fructose whereas maltose is made by the glycosidic linkage between two glucose molecules. the first figure is maltose and second is sucrose(courtesy google images)
What foods have glucose what foods have fructose?
Almost all foods contain some form of sugar in them. Glucose: Pasta, bleached flour, bread, rice, table SUGAR or anything starchy. Even beans Fructose: Raw fruit ( not canned and saturated in syrup ) Lactose: These are your dairy disaccharides. <a href="http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/C/Carbohydrates.html">Carbohydrates</a>
What makes maltose and lactose reducing sugar while sucrose is not?
Even though both molecules are disaccharides, the position of their anomeric carbons changes their reducing potential. Since maltose's anomeric carbon is free, it allows for the opening of its ring structure, and the subsequent reducing of the metal ions (like those used in Fehlding's solution). Since sucrose's anomeric carbon is used to bind the fructose and glucose molecules that it is comprised of, it does not have this option, making it a non-reducing sugar. Hope that helps!
What class of biological molecule is responsible for the ability of different bacteria to ferment different sugars?
Enzymes - for example, lactose relies on beat-galactosidase and sucrose relies on sucrase. Once in monosaccharide form, they are further hydrolyzed (like glucose is in glycolysis).
What is the function of a disaccharide?
A disaccharide is the carbohydrate formed when two monosaccharides undergo a condensation reaction which involves the elimination of a small molecule, such as water, from the functional groups. Like monosaccharides, disaccharides form an aqueous solution when dissolved in water. Three common examples are sucrose, lactose, and maltose. Sucrose is made by bonding a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule together, lactose (milk sugar) made from a glucose and a galactose.
