The beta (β) Fructose molecule - rotatable in 3 dimensions. Fructose (fruit sugar) is a monosaccharide - formula C 6 H 12 O 6. It shares the same empirical formula with other 6-carbon (hexose) sugars such as glucose and galactose.
Fructose is more commonly found together with glucose and sucrose in honey and fruit juices. Fructose, along with glucose are the monosaccharides found in disaccharide, sucrose. Fructose is classified as a monosaccharide, the most important ketose sugar, a hexose, and is a reducing sugar.

Beautiful, interactive 3D molecules of monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides. Don't just talk about carbohydrates, show your pupils what they look like! Monosaccharides are commonly used as a source of energy in respiration.
You need to know the structure of the three main monosaccharides: glucose, fructose, and galactose. Learn to draw these in preparation of your exams. More importantly, you also need to know the isomers of glucose, alpha and beta glucose (note that the groups on the right are reversed).
Although fructose is a hexose (6 carbon sugar), it generally exists as a 5-member hemiketal ring (a furanose). This structure is responsible for the long metabolic pathway and high reactivity compared to glucose (See below structure -note: hydrogens not shown)
