Just wondering becasue fructose and glucose is C6H12O6
while sucrose is C12H22O11
How does fructose and glucose= sucrose? the numbers aren't the same

Chemistry is not quite the same as math!
Notice if you take (C6H12O6) x 2 and subtract C12H22O11; you get H2O left over. When the two sugars are combined there is a molecule of water lost in the process.

in all probability the monosaccharides, that are glucose (dextrose), fructose, galactose, xylose and ribose by way of fact they're less complicated to break down Maltose and sucrose are disaccharides and can be greater durable to break down by way of fact they're a mix of monosaccharides
