Yes.

The answer above is mostly right. However, there are several different sugars which can be divided into two groups: monosaccharides and disaccharides. Monosaccharides are single sugars such as glucose, fructose, and galactose. Glucose and fructose are found commonly in fruits and berries.

Disaccharides are double sugars and there are three groups: Sucrose, Lactose, and Maltose. Upon digestion...

Sucrose breaks down into the two monosaccharides glucoseand fructose.

Lactose breaks down into the two monosaccharides glucoseand galactose.

Maltose breaks down into the two monosaccharides glucoseand glucose.

Therefore the only sugar that breaks down into glucose and fructose is Sucrose.

Lactose partly digests into glucose but not fructose, whilst maltose breaks down totally to glucose.

I hope that clarifies it a bit more.

Why does sugar disslove in hot water but not in cold water?

It does. But not very fast. True if the water is cold enough there would be virtually no dissolving. The higher the temperature of the water the More dissolved molecules it can accommodate.You will find that when it cools off again the sugar will recrystallize or separate from the water. This process can be used to grow large crystals if a substrate (a string held in the middle of a glass lets say) and the water cools slowly crystals will form on the string. If you use someother substance such as ALUM you can grow very large and colorful crystals.
