IV. Molecular formula for Fructose is C6H1206, Molecular
formula for glucose is also C6H1206. How will you
describe each one of them chemically,
i. Fructose is a 6- carbon containing
Glucose is a 6- carbon containing.
hexose
...hexose
ii. Fructose/ glucose are Furanose/pyranose? Which is
which?
iii. Why is Sucrose ( a disaccharide containing glucose
and fructose) is a non-reducing sugar

Expert Solution

Step 1

However, the molecular formula of both fructose and glucose are same but they are chemically and structurally different as they have different functional group. Fructose has a ketone functional group and glucose has an aldehyde functional group.
