Sucrose: A disaccharide made up of glucose and fructose. It's like combining two different types of candies into one sweet treat.
High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS): A type of industrial sweetener made from cornstarch that has been converted into fructose. Think about it as an artificial version of nature's candy.
Photosynthesis: The process by which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen. In this case, fructose can be seen as a product of photosynthesis - it's like the plant making its own candy using sunlight!
