Yes. It is a monosaccharide. Although it does not contain an aldehyde group, it can isomerise into an aldose.

Is glucosamine a reducing sugar?
Yes
How VLAN reduces the network traffic?
yes, it reducing the network traffic
What is the best material for RCA noise reducing caps?
PTFE (Teflon) Insulation
Why does rapid mixing of the reducing agent give more monodispersed particles?
Prevents particles from aggregating together,reducing agent homogenously incorporated insolution allows for better 'capping' of particles, not allowing them to grow and producing monodispered particles.
Which of the following measures does not help promote technological progress?
reducing the scale of the market for a new product
Why is fructose a reducing agent?
fructose is non-reducing sugar
Why fructose is reducing sugar?
Fructose has a free ketone group.
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 reducing sugar present in apple?
yes fructose
Do fructose and glucose contain reducing sugars?
No, it is a polysaccharide and like other polysaccharides it is a non reducing sugar.
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
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.
Why doesn't aspartame react in Benedict's soluion?
It's not a reducing sugar. In fact, it's not a sugar at all. Benedict's solution gives a positive test, brick-red precipitate, with reducing sugars such as glucose and 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.
Are glucose and fructose reduced sugars?
Glucose and fructose are reducing sugars.
What will be formed when the monomer of glycogen binds to fructose?
The glycogen is polymer of glucose. So glucose is monomer of glycogen. You get one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose from one molecule of cane sugar. So when one molecule of glucose will combine with one molecule of fructose, you will get one molecule of cane sugar.
Is fructose an electrolyte?
no, fructose is a sugar.
