No. Fructose and glucose are two different, simple sugars or monosaccharides. Fructose is a ketohexose. Glucose is an aldohexose.

What is added to a glucose molecule to make fructose?
both glucose and fructose are monosacharides, so you can add someting to a mono... to make another one. although, if you add them together, you get sucorse
What results from the hydrolysis of sucrose by the enzyme sucrase?
Sucrose in a disaccharide composed of one glucose and one fructose molecule. Upon hydrolysis the disaccharide is broken up into its constituent monosaccharaides, with a resulting loss of one molecule of water for each molecule of sucrose hydrolyzed.
Why does Isomerase convert glucose syrup into fructose syrup?
Glucose or mannose or fructose are interconverted in presence of base. The common intermediate is the formation of an enediol, CH(OH)=CH(OH)--- , between C1 and C2. This rearrangement is also known as Lobry de-Buryn Van Ekenstein rearangement.
Is high fructose corn syrup a carbohydrate?
High fructose corn syrup, like other caloric sweeteners, contributes 4 calories per gram. It is not pure fructose. The most common types of high fructose corn syrup used in foods and beverages are HFCS-55 and HFCS-42. The number in the name denotes the percentage of fructose in the composition. So HFCS-55 is 55% fructose with the other 45% mainly glucose. HFCS-42 is 42% fructose with the other 58% mainly glucose. Most caloric sweeteners simply provide calories. Honey does have some protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, but all these components together add up to less than half of a percent (<0.5%). So you'd have to eat a lot to gain any nutritional benefit.
What are two names for the sugar you add to cereal or lemonade?
fructose or sucrose
How do you Convert sucrose to fructose?
Mix sugar (sucrose) with water and add 1/4 teaspoon of citric or tartaric acid. Bring solution to the boil and then simmer for 60 - 90 minutes. The result is a fructose/glucose solution. If neither of the above acids is available substitute lemon or lime juice.
Why is fructose used instead of glucose in diet foods?
Though glucose and fructose have same chemical formula C6H12O6 thy have different structures. The physical, chemical and biological properties of a molecule depends on the structure of the molecule. If molecule can provide H+ ions (acids) they show sour taste. The H-atom of chlorofom CHCl3 is responsible for the sweet taste of chloroform. the sweetness of sugars are due to H-atom of particular polarity.
What elements are in sucrose?
The investigator will find carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are the elements in HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). It's all C6H12O6 chemically speaking, but there is a catch.HFCS is a blending of 1) corn syrup (which is 100% glucose) that has been processed to increase its fructose content, and 2) corn syrup (which is all glucose). In the world of biochemistry, we can have a number of compounds with the same chemical formula, but that have different molecular structures. Both fructose and glucose each have the same chemical formula as the other (C6H12O6). But by rearranging some of the molecules and then producing a "blend" of the two sugars, we now have HFCS as a food product you can add to just about anything you like.
Is therelactose free and sugar free milk?
Lactose is a form of sugar, but in terms of how our body manages it, it is all good sugar, so no problem with unflavored milk. The only "bad" sugar in milk is when we add flavoring (eg; chocolate milkshake). When we talk about sugar and the harmful effects it has on our health, it is the Fructose component of sugar that is the problem. There are quite a few "sugars" which are fructose free and milk (in fact virtually all unflavored dairy products) are fructose free. You can find more about the problems associated with Fructose part of sugar here: http://sugarinthediet.com/
What is the different from glucose and fructose?
High Fructose Corn Syrup is derived from processing corn starches with 2 enzymes to create broken-down glucose molecules.High Maltose Corn Syrup (also called Maltodextrin) is has slightly less sweetness per unit than High Fructose Corn Syrup so companies add more of it into products. The food production companies are realizing that HFCS on their food labels is now a taboo in American sub-cultures. HMCS is basically the same cheap, corn-derived disaccharide as HFCS, but because it has a different name companies cleverly sneak HMCS into foods labeled 'natural.'
Why are 2 molecules of ATP used to start the process of anaerobic respiration?
The first of the two ATP molecules used in glycolysis is in the phosphorylation of free glucose by hexokinase in a cell. It does this to add a negative charge in order to keep the glucose molecules inside the cell regardless of the outside concentrations.The second ATP molecule is consumed in the third step of glycolysis, in the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-biphosphate by the enzyme phosphofructokinase. This is generally considered the most important rate-determining step of glycolysis and is essentially irreversible under metabolic conditions.
Is fructose corn syrup more expensive sweeteners than cane or been sugar?
No. There is no corn syrup in pure honey. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous honey packers will add corn syrup to the honey. Also, some rogue beekeepers will feed their bees a fluid that includes high fructose corn syrup.
