Why glucose and fructose can be identified through osazone crystal formation?

They are both reducing sugars. They have aldose and ketose group at the side of the structure, which helps the sugar to condense with phenylhydrazine and produce solid derivatives called osazone. The solid is seen as crystals through the microscope.

When you add Fructose and fructose does it gives you glucose?
No. Fructose and glucose are two different, simple sugars or monosaccharides. Fructose is a ketohexose. Glucose is an aldohexose.
Why glucose and fructose form same osazone?
Glucose, Fructose and Mannose give the same osazone because these sugars have the same configuration of carbons 3, 4, 5 and 6. osazone formation only affects carbons 1 and 2.
Are glucose and fructose reduced sugars?
Glucose and fructose are reducing sugars.
What enzyme changes glucose to frutose?
The enzyme that breaks down sucrose to glucose and fructose is called sucrase.
What are two monosaccharides that will make the disaccharide sucrose?
Fructose and glucose are found in sucrose.
Why glucose is also know as fructose?
Glucose and fructose are very different carbohydrates !
What two monosaccharids make up sucrose?
glucose and fructose
Are glucose and fructose elements?
Yes, they have 6 carbons.
How do you distinguish glucose and fructose?
Glucose is an aldose whereas fructose in a ketose. There is a simple qualitative test for distinguishing between D-Glucose and D-Fructose.
Sucrose plus water equals glucose plus fructose?
sucrose + water = glucose + fructose is the chemical equation for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose.
What are three forms of monosaccharides?
glucose, fructose, sucroseI believe glucose, galactose, and fructose are the three most common.
Formula of glucose and fructose?
The chemical formula for glucose is C6H12O6.
