Detailed explanation-1: -1: Glucose and fructose combine to produce the disaccharide sucrose in a condensation reaction. Sucrose, commonly known as table sugar, is an example of a disaccharide. A disaccharide is a carbohydrate formed by the joining of two monosaccharides.
Detailed explanation-2: -A hydrogen atom from one molecule and a hydroxyl group from the other molecule are eliminated as water, with a resulting covalent bond linking the two sugars together at that point. Glucose and fructose combine to produce the disaccharide sucrose in a condensation reaction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sucrose (C12H22O11) is a disaccharide; hydrolysis, by the enzyme invertase, yields “invert sugar” (so called because the hydrolysis results in an inversion of the rotation of plane polarized light), a 50:50 mixture of fructose and glucose, its two constituent monosaccharides.
