Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fructose is recognized by having a five member ring and having six carbons, a hexose. Both glucose and fructose may be either alpha or beta on the anomeric carbon, so this is not distinctive between them.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose, fructose and galactose are examples of single-unit sugars, also known as monosaccharides.
