Q. Sucrose is made up of

AMUAMU 2013Biomolecules

Solution:

Sucrose, the common table sugar or cane sugar is made up of glucose and fructose. Its molecular formula is $ C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} $ . On hydrolysis sucrose give rise one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose.
$C_{12} H_{22}O_{11} + H_2O \rightarrow \underset{\text{Glucose + Fructose}}{C_6H_{12}O_6 + C_6H_{12}O_6}$
