sucrose: glucose + fructosesucrose is a disaccharide made from glucose and fructose

glucose: C(sub 6)H(sub 12)O(sub6)fructose: C(sub 6)H(sub 12)O(sub6)
sucrose: C(sub 12)H(sub 22)O(sub 11)
a water molecule, H(sub 2)O gets removed which is why there are 2 less hydrogens and one less oxygen

The answer is; Sucrose = Glucose + Fructose

A disaccharide is composed of two monomers bonded together by a glycosidic b0nd. In carbohydrates, they 3 types of disaccharides as stated below including their constituent monomers;

Maltose = glucose + glucose

Lactose = glucose + galactose
