Sucrose molecule

Sucrose. Computer-generated molecular model of sucrose (C12H22O11). Sucrose is composed of carbon (green), hydrogen (grey-white) and oxygen (red). Sucrose is a disaccharide (sugar). Saccharides consist of rings of four or five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Attached around the ring are hydroxyl (OH) groups. Disaccharides comprise two monosaccharides joined together, in this case glucose and fructose. Sucrose is also known as cane or beet sugar and is easily hydrolysed by dilute acids to its component parts

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a sucrose molecule, meticulously rendered through computer-generated molecular modeling. Composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms represented by vibrant green, grey-white, and red hues respectively, this disaccharide sugar is truly a marvel to behold. Saccharides form rings consisting of four or five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Encircling these rings are hydroxyl (OH) groups that lend further complexity to the structure. In the case of sucrose, it is formed by joining two monosaccharides together – glucose and fructose. Also known as cane or beet sugar due to its natural sources, sucrose can be easily broken down into its component parts through hydrolysis with dilute acids. This organic compound plays an essential role in our daily lives as a key ingredient in various food products. The artistic representation captured in this image not only highlights the scientific significance but also serves as a visual feast for those fascinated by chemistry and biochemistry. It exemplifies how art can merge seamlessly with science to create stunning illustrations that educate and inspire curiosity about the molecular world around us. This remarkable photograph belongs to Science Photo Library's extensive collection dedicated to showcasing scientific wonders while promoting knowledge dissemination without commercial intent.
