==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
[[Fructose]] is a simple [[sugar]] with [[Chemical Formula|formula]] C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>12</sub>O<sub>6</sub>.
===About Fructose===
: [[Fructose]] is a [[sugar]] found in [[fruit]].
: [[Fructose]] has a store of [[Chemical Potential Energy Store|chemical potential energy]].
: [[Fructose]] can be detected using the [[Benedict's Test]].
====Testing For Fructose====
: [[Fructose]] can be detected with the [[Benedict's Test]].
=====Method=====
: 1. A sample of food is dissolved in water.
: 2. The solution is added to blue Benedict's solution in a boiling tube.
: 3. The solution is kept at 90°C for up to 10 minutes.
: 4. A colour change indicates the presence of glucose or fructose. If they are present the solution will eventually turn brick red or brown.

==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Fructose]] is a [[monosaccharide]] which all have the [[Chemical Formula|formula]] C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>12</sub>O<sub>6</sub>.
===About Fructose===
: [[Fructose]] is a [[sugar]] found in [[fruit]].
: [[Fructose]] has a store of [[Chemical Potential Energy Store|chemical potential energy]].
: [[Fructose]] is used in [[respiration]] to provide [[energy]] for [[Cell (Biology)|cells]].
: [[Fructose]] must be converted into [[Glucose]] before it can be used in [[respiration]].
: One [[fructose]] [[molecule]] and one [[glucose]] [[molecule]] [[Bonds|bonded]] together make [[sucrose]].
====Testing For Fructose====
: [[Fructose]], and other [[monosaccharide]]s, can be detected with the [[Benedict's Test]].
