Fructose
(Science: biochemistry) a 6 carbon sugar (hexose) abundant in plants. Fructose has its reducing group (carbonyl) at C2 and thus is a ketose, in contrast to glucose that has its carbonyl at C1 and thus an aldose.
fructose
a simple carbohydrate (monosaccharide) that is a structural isomer of glucose and considered to be an atypical ketose.

Fructose (Fischer projection)
Pure carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, in a 1:2:1 molar ratio, giving the general formula CnH2nOn. However, many important carbohydrates deviate from this, such as deoxyribose.

glucose and fructose). [optical isomers] IsometricThe contraction, without shortening, of a muscle. [More] Isotonic(1) Adjective to describe the contraction of a muscle that is allowed to shorten as it exerts a steady force.
Many of the simple sugars or monosaccharides contain six carbons (glucose, fructose, galactose). The sugars that are part of nucleotides are five carbon sugars (ribose and deoxyribose). Carbohydrates and sugars usually have names ending in "ose.
For example, glucose and fructose, illustrated in Figure 9, have the same chemical formula (C6H12O6), but a different structure: glucose having an aldehyde (internal hydroxyl shown as: -OH) and fructose having a keto group (internal double-bond O, ...
For example, certain enzymes associated with gluconeogenesis and the synthesis of pentose sugars for nucleotide biosynthesis, such as fructose 1,6-biophosphate aldolase and fructose 1,6-biophosphate phosphatase, ...
Example: Glucose, fructose, and galactose are monosaccharides; their structural formula is C6H12O6.
Glucose and other kinds of sugars may be linear molecules as shown below but in aqueous solution they become a ring form.
The majority of my corn today goes to ethanol production, also the co-products of ethanol productions, which is corn feed, but also it may be used for corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup or actually corn syrup that's used in pancake syrup.
seminal vesicles Glands that contribute fructose to sperm. The fructose serves as an energy source. The structures that add fructose and hormones to semen. PICTURE ...
Bifunctional enzyme An enzyme with two different, often opposing, catalytic activities on one polypeptide chain. For instance, phosphofructokinase 2 synthesizes fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase hydrolyzes it, ...
The equilibrium constant for the conversion of the disaccharide sucrose to the simple sugars glucose and fructose is 140,000. What can you conclude about the reaction: sucrose + H2O glucose + fructose?
sucrose A disaccharide (glucose + fructose) found in many plants; the primary form in which sugar produced by photosynthesis is translocated.
sudoriferous gland A sweat gland.
sugar A monosaccharide; a carbohydrate with the general formula CnH2nOn.
Disaccharides are formed by two monosaccharides linked by a glycosidic bond, for example Sucrose (Glucose+Fructose), Maltose (Glucose+Glucose), Lactose (Glucose+Galactose), etc. (click here to see formulas of disaccharides) ...
