kiwi.at.heart Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 At the moment I'm doing a prac on how yeast respires in different sugars. Basically, all the information I am finding is contradicting each other and I am so confused. My question is, should glucose or fructose have the highest rate of respiration?I would think it would be fructose because in cell respiration glucose is turned into fructose before pyruvate, but some sources I've found say that fructose must be turned into glucose before it can be used. I really don't know what to trust and could really do with help from anyone that knows anything about this. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Glau Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 They are both monosaccharides and they both go through glycolysis as far as I know so really neither should be all that much faster. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
