<P> Sucrose, pictured to the right, is the most abundant disaccharide, and the main form in which carbohydrates are transported in plants . It is composed of one D - glucose molecule and one D - fructose molecule . The systematic name for sucrose, O - α - D - glucopyranosyl - (1 → 2) - D - fructofuranoside, indicates four things: </P> <Ul> <Li> Its monosaccharides: glucose and fructose </Li> <Li> Their ring types: glucose is a pyranose and fructose is a furanose </Li> <Li> How they are linked together: the oxygen on carbon number 1 (C1) of α - D - glucose is linked to the C2 of D - fructose . </Li> <Li> The - oside suffix indicates that the anomeric carbon of both monosaccharides participates in the glycosidic bond . </Li> </Ul> <Li> Its monosaccharides: glucose and fructose </Li> <Li> Their ring types: glucose is a pyranose and fructose is a furanose </Li>
