Table sugar is made of sucrose (C12H22O11) crystals. However, scientifically the word "sugar" is used for any mono- or di-saccharide. Sugar added in food is called sucrose. Sugar naturally found in fruit is called fructose.

Table sugar has the chemical name sucrose. It is a relatively simple

molecule made of 12 atoms of carbon, 22 of hydrogen, and 11 of oxygen.

The carbon atoms are arranged in two rings, joined at one point through

a connection made of one of the oxygen atoms.

The chemical makeup (including the arrangement of atoms) is important to

humans and forms of life because a lot of energy can be released from

the molecule when it is processed to carbon dioxide and water or, in

some cases, to ethyl alcohol or lactic acid.
