No, glucose is a component of two dietary disaccharides: maltose (glucose + glucose) and lactose (glucose + galactose). Sucrose (glucose + fructose) does not contain glucose.
The two main categories of sugars are monosaccharides and disaccharides. Three common disaccharides are sucrose, maltose and lactose.
The three classes of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides
Carbohydrates are organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, typically in a ratio of 1:2:1. They can be classified into three main types: sugars (monosaccharides and disaccharides), starches (polysaccharides), and dietary fibers. Common examples include glucose, sucrose, and starch, which serve as important energy sources for the body.
Both maltose and sucrose are disaccharides. Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides join through a process called dehydration synthesis. Maltose is made from two glucose units and sucrose is made from fructose and glucose. Both maltose and sucrose have the molecular formular: C12H22O11
The three major types of carbohydrates are sugar, starch, and fiber. Carbohydrates are further broken down into five categories: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides and nucleotides.
Glucose
Glucose is the monosaccharide present in all three disaccharides: sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).
The two main categories of sugars are monosaccharides and disaccharides. Three common disaccharides are sucrose, maltose and lactose.
Three common disaccharides are sucrose (composed of glucose and fructose), lactose (composed of glucose and galactose), and maltose (composed of two glucose molecules).

sugars, glucose, starch in plants and glycogen
Disaccharides are a type of sugar that are formed when two monosaccharides bond together. e.g. sucrose (table sugar) is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose. Maltose is a disaccharide of two glucose molecules.
Monosaccharides (e.g. glucose), disaccharides (e.g. sucrose), and polysaccharides (e.g. starch) are three classes of carbohydrates based on their size and structure.
Monosaccharides,Disaccharides and Polysaccharides.
The three most common dietary monosaccharides for humans are glucose, fructose, and galactose. Glucose serves as a primary energy source for cells, while fructose is found in fruits and honey and is metabolized differently from glucose. Galactose is primarily found in dairy products and is converted into glucose in the liver for energy use. These monosaccharides are fundamental to human nutrition and metabolism.

Monosaccharides are the cornerstones of disaccharides as well as polysaccharides. Some monosaccharides include glucose also known as dextrose, fructose, and galactose.
