Sugar is a carbohydrate that is 99.9% pure sucrose. Sucrose is made up of a glucose and fructose molecule joined together by a hydrolytic linkage. The sucrose molecule contains 3 compounds, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. It takes 12 carbons, 22 hydrogens, 11 oxygens to make one sucrose molecule. All carbohydrates are made up of this same carbon, hydrogen, oxygen combination. The only variation is in the number of molecules of each and how they are bonded together.
