Charlie Dickson · Answer 1

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
