Glucose is a single chain, fructose is 2 carbon rings attached by an oxygen atom. Is it not easier to split 2 stable rings at an oxygen (to give 2 OH groups) than it is to start carving up a straight chain molecule?
a oxen is faster then horses because it looks faster
Yes penguins can walk faster than humans :) <3 <3 <3
Flies are faster than bees. They have bigger wings!
no the puma runs faster
I think the lioness can run faster than the lion because the lions get tired quicker than the lioness
Sucrose is more complex than glucose.
because glucose is simpler than sucrose.
Yes , glucose (dextrose) rise blood sugar faster than any other carbs . Other carbs like vitargo or karbulyn are so effective aswell
Yes, sucrose molecules are larger than glucose molecules. Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule, while glucose is a monosaccharide. This difference in structure accounts for the difference in size between the two molecules.
Sucrose is a complex carbohydrate while glucose is a simple carbohydrate. Sucrose can be taken but its synthesis takes time by than the person may become more week. Since glucose is already simple there is no need for its synthesis and hence it give instant energy. Therefore glucose is chosen over sucrose.
Sucrose is a double sugar and one molecule of sucrose is broken into one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose by the yeast (with and enzyme called invertase) prior to fermentation. From a pure chemical reaction perspective 1kg of can produce slightly more alcohol than 1kg of glucose, but given the right environment yeast can fully ferment both. Most brewers yeast prefers glucose to fructose so the glucose will be tend to be consumed first. Glucose is more expensive than sucrose so sucrose is a more cost effective choice.
Inverted sugar is sweeter than sugar because upon splitting the sucrose molecules into 2 molecules, one of fructose and one of glucose, the concentration of sugar molecules doubles (i.e. 1 pound of sucrose -> 1 pound glucose + 1 pound frucose = 2 pounds sugars).
Fructose as an ingredient or a 'sugar' replacement in your coffee or tea is normally consumed by diabetic sufferers. This is because it has a lower glycaemic index than sucrose (regular sugar). This means that when fructose is consumed the body takes longer to metabolise it into, its main energy source, glucose. So therefore, the glucose formed from fructose is absorbed into the blood stream much slower than what would be seen for sucrose. This is due to the different formations and shapes of the fructose and sucrose. So a more complex shape (fructose) would take longer to breakdown into the shape of glucose and the simpler shape (sucrose) would breakdown faster to glucose.
During cooking, sucrose hydrolyses into its monomers, glucose and fructose. This mixture is commonly known as "invert sugar". Invert sugar shows more sweetness than sucrose.
Glucose. It can also use sucrose and maltose, but much less than glucose.
One way is by polarimeter; glucose and sucrose rotate polarized light in opposite directions. This is assuming your materials are of biological origin and therefore consist of the D-forms of both; if they're synthetic, then all bets are off.
Infact it should. It is a common misconception that because Glucose is a monosaccharide that it should provide a higher rate of respiration as it does not need to be broken down, unlike sucrose. However, the method the glucose enters the yeast enters the cell is by facillitated diffusion and this requires carrier proteins. When glucose is being absorbed, there will be a point where the rate reaches it's maximum, i.e. all the carrier proteins are being used. When sucrose is the substrate, it is split into glucose and fructose. When all the carrier proteins are used transporting glucose, different proteins are used for fructose (due to the tertiary structure of the protein) so the composite monosaccharides of sucrose can enter the yeast at a higher rate. Hence the rate is faster.
