Also known as sucrose, sugar is made up of 22 hydrogen atoms, 11 oxygen atoms and 12 carbon atoms in each molecule. Sucrose is made up of two simple sugars, fructose and glucose. Sugar is a carbohydrate that has 45 atoms.
Under a microscope, a molecule of sugar looks like a cube. When cooking, acid is added to the sugar to break the cube apart. The acid breaks the sucrose down into fructose and glucose.
Sugar exists in most plants. However, it is harvested primarily from sugarcane. Sugarcane is harvested all around the world with Brazil as the world's largest producer of sugar.

What is C6H1202?
Normally, C6H12O6 is the formula for glucose, a type of sugar. However, a number of other sugars have the same formula eg fructose, galactose. All of these sugars are simple sugars or monosaccharides. They have the same formula but the atoms are arranged differently in the different molecules. This is called isomerism, and the sugars are called isomers of each other. Sugars like these which have 6 carbon atoms are called hexose sugars.

Is water a element compound or mixture?
Water is a compound composed of two elements, hydrogen and oxygen, chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio of 2:1.
What are complex sugars or starches called?
Complex sugars are compounds made up of 3 or more simple sugars. For example, glucose is a monosaccharide (1 sugar) Lactose is a disaccharide (made up of 2 sugars) Amylose is a polysaccharide (thousands of sugars in the chain) so it is considered a "complex" sugar. Glucose is one of the sugars that usually makes up a "complex" sugar.
Is silicon dioxide an element or compound?
Silicon dioxide is a compound. It is composed of silicon and oxygen atoms in a 1:2 ratio, forming a chemical compound with the formula SiO2.
What element makes up most of the detectable mass in the universe?
Hydrogen is the element that makes up most of the detectable mass in the universe. About 75% of the normal matter in the universe is hydrogen.
What are 2 examples of monosaccharides?
simple sugars and glucose.
Maltose is composed of what two sugars?
Glucose + Glucose = 2 Glucose units Maltose is a disaccharide
What is a chain of more than 2 simple sugars bound together?
compound
Is a compound machine composed of more than one simple machine?
Yes, a compound machine may be composed of 2 or more simple machines.
What is the constituent element of Carbohydrate?
The primary constituent elements of carbohydrates are carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). These elements are typically arranged in a ratio of 1:2:1, as seen in simple sugars like glucose (C6H12O6). Carbohydrates serve as a major energy source for living organisms and can be classified into simple sugars (monosaccharides and disaccharides) and complex carbohydrates (oligosaccharides and polysaccharides).
What are the two Subgroups for carbohydrates?
Carbohydrate type molecules can be divided into two chief sub-classifications. These are simple and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are sugars, and complex can be healthy starches as found in vegetables.
Is factorial same as permutation?
No. Simple permutations are composed of 2 factorials.
Can monosaccharide be hydrolyzed?
Yes, monosaccharides can undergo hydrolysis. This process involves breaking the glycosidic bond between monosaccharide units, resulting in the breakdown of the monosaccharide molecule into its component sugar units.
What sugars are?
Complex sugars are compounds made up of 3 or more simple sugars. For example, glucose is a monosaccharide (1 sugar) Lactose is a disaccharide (made up of 2 sugars) Amylose is a polysaccharide (thousands of sugars in the chain) so it is considered a "complex" sugar. Glucose is one of the sugars that usually makes up a "complex" sugar.
Why is matter composed of 2 or more elements?
Matter also may composed of one element only as Coal, Graphite and Diamond are only Carbon.
Is water an element of periodic table?
no water is a compound composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom
What do complex carbohydrates breakdown into?
simple sugars known as saccharides. monosaccharide - 1 disaccharide - 2 polysaccharide - 3 or more
