The difference it how the cell absorbs them. sucrose passes throught the cell membrane I forgot the mecanism, osmosis? Frutose uses actice transport, it can only path thought the cell wall at cetain spots, it's a lock and key mechanism. Frutose takes longer for cells to absorb then sucrose. glucose I don't remember. This is from biology 28 years ago.
