Detailed explanation-3: -Fructose and glucose combine to form the disaccharide sucrose, which we know as common sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -Table sugar is sucrose which is a type of disaccharide made up of one glucose and one fructose molecule. The elemental formula for sucrose is C12H22O11.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fructose is a type of sugar known as a monosaccharide, or a “single” sugar, like glucose. Monosaccharides can bond together to form disaccharides, the most common of which is sucrose, or “table sugar.” Sucrose is 50% fructose and 50% glucose.
