fructose

In the Figure below , you can see structural formulas for glucose and two other sugars, named fructose and sucrose. Fructose is a sugar that is found in fruits. It is an isomer of glucose. Isomers are compounds that have the same atoms but different arrangements of atoms. Do you see how the atoms are arranged differently in fructose than in glucose? Youre probably most familiar with the sugar sucrose, because sucrose is table sugar. Its the sugar that you spoon onto your cereal or into your iced tea.
