Glucose is found in at least three common disaccharides found in nature, while fructose is a component of only one. D. Glucose and fructose are both reducing sugars.

Answer 1

Anse We know form the It can not Stupicture also foom that Glucose can only Pyranose ling structure. from the Furanose ling other side, fructose can only a furanose eing structione Both Glucose and texo fructose are Hexose Sugar Hexose Sugar means It Contain 6 Carbon i t their structure Glucose is Aldo hexose and bructose is keto hexose. Glucose and fructose are have 6 Cabon hexose but they are different in their structure Only Glucose can be a reducing Sugar not fructose because Glucose is a Simble Sugar and forctose is a fuit Sugar So It contain less Lugar than fructose . we can say fructose is not a reducing Sugar Structure ? Glucose
