Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose and fructose are individual sugar units and are also called monosaccharides. Sucrose is a sugar molecule made up of both glucose and fructose so sucrose is called a disaccharide.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is the most abundant monosaccharide. Galactose, mannose, fructose and ribose are also of major biological importance.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose and fructose are simple sugars, or monosaccharides. Your body can absorb them more easily than the disaccharide sucrose, which must be broken down first.
Detailed explanation-4: -Honey is composed primarily of the simple sugars glucose and fructose – known as monosaccharides and a further 17% to 20% of water. Honey also contains other types of sugars such as sucrose (which is a disaccharide composed of fructose and glucose linked together through -1–4 linkage).
