A different between fructose and glucose is that fructose is much sweeter than glucose. Also fructose, when eaten and absorbed, releases its energy slower than glucose and can metabolize without the need of insulin.

Is the the structure formula of glucose the same as frutose?

No, the structural formula of glucose is not the same as that of fructose, even though they are both simple sugars (monosaccharides). Glucose is an aldohexose, meaning it has an aldehyde group and six carbon atoms, while fructose is a ketohexose, featuring a ketone group and also has six carbon atoms. This difference in functional groups and the arrangement of atoms gives them distinct properties and structures.
