I could tell you, but unless you're a chemist it won't mean much to you (and if you are a chemist, you've probably already got access to books with that information sitting on your shelf). Diagrams will probably be more useful. See the related links.

The reasons the diagrams are necessary is that glucose and fructose have exactly the same chemical formula; the only difference is in how the atoms are arranged. (Glucose is an aldose, fructose is a ketose, and the directions the hydroxyl groups come off the carbon backbone are different too.)

Sucrose plus water equals glucose plus fructose?

sucrose + water = glucose + fructose is the chemical equation for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose.


How do you change sucrose to glucose?

Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. A sucrase will hydrolyze sucrose into both constitute parts. You will be left with glucose and fructose, but you cannot directly transform sucrose to glucose.


What breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose?

Yes. You can obtain fructose & Glucose by the breaking down of Sucrose. Sucrose is made from linked Fructose & Glucose.


What are two monosaccharides that will make the disaccharide sucrose?

Fructose and glucose are found in sucrose.


What two sugars combine to make sucrose?

Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of an alpha-glucose and an alpha-fructose. It has an alpha 1-2 glycosidic linkage between the two molecules.


Can sucrose hydrolysis result L-glucose?

No, sucrose hydrolysis will not result in L-glucose. Sucrose is made up of glucose and fructose, but the hydrolysis of sucrose produces equal parts of glucose and fructose in their D form, not L-glucose.


Is sucrose a double bond?

Sucrose is a disaccharide comprised of glucose and fructose. While both glucose and fructose have double bonds, sucrose does not.


Does glucose plus glucose make sucrose?

Fructose. Sucrose is the disaccharide made from two monosaccharides, glucose and fructose. The other disaccharides are lactose (glucose and galactose) and maltose (glucose and glucose). The monomers are bonded together through glycosidic linkages.


What two monosaccharids make up sucrose?
