The ball-and-stick and first space-filling model show that sucrose is a large molecule made up of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Sucrose has many O–H bonds which are polar. These polar areas are shown ...

Photosynthetic sucrose not only supplies roots with carbohydrates but also acts as a signal transmitter for light-dependent root architecture. Researchers shows how information about the quantity ...

The simple crystalline sucrose molecule can actually produce a sort of physiological “dependency” as it releases endogenous opioids and dopamine in your brain. Unfortunately, sugar ...

(Image: Tokyo Tech) With a diameter of one nanometer, the spherical cavity of the capsule is just the right size to catch the nearly one-nanometer-long and spherical sucrose molecule. Building on the ...
