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.
How are Carbohydrase and Isomerase used in food industry?
Carbohydrase is the general term for an enzyme that breaks down different types of carbohydrates. Amylase is one that converts starch into glucose. Isomerase can convert glucose into fructose. Fructose has a sweeter taste than glucose and therefore does not need to be used as much. This means that fructose can be used in 'diet' foods as the food will contain less calories.
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.
What are three forms of monosaccharides?
glucose, fructose, sucroseI believe glucose, galactose, and fructose are the three most common.
Sucrase converts sucrose into?
glucose and fructose

When a poisoned cells mitochondria inhibits the absorption of glucose and galactose but not that of fructose what processes are the sugars absorbed?
protein absorption through ketoacidosis
Monosaccharides produced by hydrolysis of sucrose?
You have the enzyme called as sucrase. This enzyme is present in the brush border of the cells from intestine. This enzyme splits one molecule of sucrose into one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose. This reaction takes place during absorption.
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.
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 ;)

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 !
