Answer:

6 molecules of Oxygen

Explanation:

From the question ,

Sugar has a molecular formula of C₆H₁₂O₆ .

Hence ,

Using the mole concept , i.e. ,

1 molecule of Sugar , i.e. , C₆H₁₂O₆ has , 6 molecules of Carbon , 12 molecules of Hydrogen and 6 molecules of Oxygen .

Therefore ,

6 molecules of Oxygen is present in 1 molecule of sugar , i.e. , C₆H₁₂O₆ .

Answer:

Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of alpha D gluose and beta D fructose linked together by beta 2,alpha1 glycosidic linkage.

Explanation:

The specificity of glycosidic linkage very much essential to choose the substrate for the synthesis of specific disaccharide.

For example sucrose contain beta 2,alpha1 glycosidic linkage that means the hydroxyl group of anomeric carbon of one monosaccharide(fructose) should remain in beta conformation and the hydroxyl group of other monosaccharide(glucose) should remain in alpha conformation.
