No, it is a polysaccharide and like other polysaccharides it is a non reducing sugar.

What kind of sugar is used by organisms?
Organisms use all types of sugars, ex. we eat lactose (milk) fructose (fruit) and sucrose (white sugar used in cooking) . Organisms break the sugars down into their parts, ex lactose= galactose+glucose
What does a plant makes as food?
Carbohydrates such as starches and sugars like glucose and fructose, for example.
Can saliva dissolve sugar?
No, saliva doesn't contain reducing sugars, but it does contain enzymes that break down starch. Even so, starch is not a reducing sugar either - it is a polysaccharide.
What is a glucose blood test for?
To test for the amount of sugars (glucose) in the blood.
What is one of two monosaccharides made by plants?
Plants make different sugars including sucrose, dextrose and fructose.
Are glucose and fructose reduced sugars?
Glucose and fructose are reducing sugars.
Is glucose and fructose reducing sugars?
yes, both glucose and fructose are reducing sugars. but the sucrose is non-reducing sugar although it is formed from two reducing sugars.
Is xylose a reducing sugar?
Ribose: Ribose is an Aldopentose sugar, and all aldose sugars are reducing sugars. The non-reducing sugars are ketose sugars which contain a ketone functional group. For ex: Ketose = Sucrose. For ex: Aldose = Glucose, Fructose, Lactose
Do bananas contain 3 natural sugars?
Bananas contain 3 naturalsugars (sucrose, fructose and glucose).
Why sucrose does not give a positive Benedict's test but hydrolyzed sucrose does give a positive beneditcts test?
Sucrose is formed from glucose and fructose.Sucrose is formed from glucose and fructose. Glucose and fructose gives positive test for benedict becuz both of them are reducing sugars whereas sucrose is not a reducing sugar so it gives negative test for benedict. On prolonged heating,sucrose will form glucose and fructose (reducing sugars)which ultimately gives a positive result .
Does maple sirup contain fructose and glucose?
NO - It consists primarily of sucroseand water, with small amounts of other sugars. The imitationproducts are those that contain fructose.
Are the products of sucrose hydrolysis reducing sugars?
No, sucrose is not a reducing agent. The disaccharide sucrose can be 'inverted' breaking the molecule into the monosaccharides glucose and fructose, both of which are reducing sugars. This is commonly done by enzymatic action.
Why is the Benedict test not exclusive to glucose?
The Benedict test will return a positive value for any reducing sugar. It will work with fructose, for example. Benedict solution oxidizes all the reducing sugars such as glucose, galactose and fructose. This implies that a positive result of Benedict's test can be any of the reducing sugars, not necessarily glucose. It will oxidize the carbonyl (which present in all type of sugar classes). So if we get a positive result in the Benedict test, it is not necessarily glucose; it could be galactose or fructose that also a reducing sugar. So Benedict test can't be used to assure glucose.
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 fructose and glucose examples of?
Sugars.
What sugars are in bananas?
sucrose, fructose and glucose.
What are glucose fructose and ribose examples of?
Sugars.
