The primary organ is the liver. This process of metabolizing fructose is called fructolysis.

What do you get glucose from?

any type of sugar. fruits have fructose (fruit sugar) which your body converts to glucose, any candy or other (sweet) is going to have sugar (sucrose), which your body converts to glucose. so if you eat any plant it's going to have some fructose, fruits are higher in fructose then other plant matter, and anything with sugar gives you sucrose since sugar is sucrose. fructose and sucrose are complex sugars, and glucose is simple sugar.


What enzyme changes glucose to frutose?

The enzyme responsible for converting glucose to fructose is glucose isomerase. It catalyzes the reversible isomerization of glucose to fructose. This enzyme is commonly used in the production of high-fructose corn syrup.


What are the irreversible steps in glycolysis and how do they contribute to the overall regulation of the pathway?

The irreversible steps in glycolysis are catalyzed by the enzymes hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase. These steps help regulate the pathway by controlling the flow of glucose through glycolysis. Hexokinase converts glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, phosphofructokinase converts fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, and pyruvate kinase converts phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate. These irreversible steps ensure that once glucose enters glycolysis, it is committed to being broken down for energy production.

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.

Sucrase molecule be used to hydrolyze sucrose?

Sucrase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose, breaking it down into its component sugars glucose and fructose. This process helps in the digestion and absorption of sucrose in the human body.


What is the main purpose of a sucrase?

Sucrase is an enzyme which catalyze the hydrolysis of sucrose to fructose and glucose.

What is isomerase used for in food production?

Isomerase converts glucose (a sugar) into fructose (another sugar) It is used in slimming foods. This is because fructose is much sweeter than glucose so less needs to be used. Therefore, the sugar intake is less.


Are glucose and fructose reduced sugars?

Glucose and fructose are reducing sugars.


What molecules is not a monosaccharide glucose fructose deoxyribose starch?

Sucrose is composed of one molecule of glucose linked to one molecule of fructose, and is therefore a disaccharide.ANSWER ITWhich of the following are not molecules? A.NaClB.MgCl2C.AgD.AlE.C3H8AG AND AL ARE NOT MOLECULESapex ;)
