Does carbon and sucrose share the same properties?

Carbon is an element. Sucrose, a sugar, is a compound ( a combination of elements ). Sucrose is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Pure carbon is found in two forms, graphite (pencil lead) and diamond. Carbon and sucrose are very different in properties except for the fact that both can be burned in the presence of oxygen to yield CO2 (and water in the case of sucrose).
