Question

What is the formula for a simple sugar?

Answer 1

Answer:

The chemical formula of simple sugar is $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$

Explanation:

Simple Sugars

Simple sugars are  a group of carbohydrates that  made up of single sugar molecule or two combined sugar molecules.

Monosaccharides

This is a type of single sugar that contains only one molecule of sugar. monosaccharides are classified as glucose, fructose, and galactose.

The three monosaccharides  have $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$ as the chemical formulae but differ by their atom arrangement.

Disaccharide

Disaccharide is a type of simple sugar that is obtained when two monosaccharides  combine. They are sometimes referred to as double single sugar. Maltose, sucrose, and lactose are examples of disaccharides.

Since the monosaccharides are the basic building block of all simple sugar, the basic simple sugar formula is that of the monosaccharides. Therefore, the formula for simple sugar is   $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$

Answer 2

c6h12O6 this is the formula
