Yes. Water and sugar both contain hydroxyl groups, which consist of an oxygen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. Because of this shared particle level property, water and sugar molecules will attract each other, which is why sugar is so easily water-soluble.

What experiment can you use to test if sugar is a covalent bond?
Sugar is not dissociated in water.
What happen when cold water and mixed sugar is mixed?
The sugar dissolves, but not as fast as if the water were warm. If there's more sugar than that amount of water can hold at that temperature, then the sugar stops dissolving at some point, even if you keep stirring.
Are sugar particles are chemically joined to water particles in sugar water?
Not quite in the way you may think. Sugar particles are solvated within water, meaning that water molecules will form solvated shells around sucrose (common table sugar) and result in the sucrose molecules becoming dispersed within the water. How the water interacts with the sucrose molecule is by hydrogen bonding with the sugar's polar groups, which is a strong molecular interaction, however is not quite a covalent chemical bond.
The bond that is formed between two glucose molecules is called what?
A bond between a sugar (the ribose sugar) and a non sugar (the base) is called a glycosidic bond.
What is a property of water that refers to water's ability to stick to other substances?
The water molecule is an electric dipole. Its small size and its polarity which is caused by polar H-O bonds. This causes it to bond to other objects such as when sugar dissolves in water. However, it cannot bond to non-polar molecules which is why not everything dissolves in water.
What is the bond that holds sugar and water together?
A covalent bond
Is sugar water mixture compound or solution?
Sugar water is a solution because the sugar molecules do not chemically bond to the water molecules.
What experiment can you use to test if sugar is a covalent bond?
Sugar is not dissociated in water.
Is sugar water a compound a mixture or a solution?
It's a solution, since the sugar is dissolved in water.
What list of items water will dissolve other than salt sugar?
Anything that is bonded by an ionic or polar-covalent bond.
What property of water allows it to bond to objects?
The water molecule is an electric dipole. Its small size and its polarity which is caused by polar H-O bonds. This causes it to bond to other objects such as when sugar dissolves in water. However, it cannot bond to non-polar molecules which is why not everything dissolves in water.
What happen when cold water and mixed sugar is mixed?
The sugar dissolves, but not as fast as if the water were warm. If there's more sugar than that amount of water can hold at that temperature, then the sugar stops dissolving at some point, even if you keep stirring.
Do sugars dissolve in water?
The molecules of sugar bond with the water molecules. This is because water is a solvent, which are substances that can bond to another kind of subtances easily. Note: Water is considered the universal solvent, because it is considered to be the strongest substance to dissolve most substances.
What happens when mixing Sugar and Water?
Yes. Sugar dissolves in water.
In order to break a disaccharide down into simple sugar units?
water molecules must be added to each bond
Is sugar a polar covalent bond or nonpolar bond?

What type of bonds hold the individual DNA bases together?
If the DNA nitrogenous bases (A&T, G&C) alone, its the Hydrogen bond. Phosphate-Sugar= phosphoester bond Sugar-Nitrogenous bases= Beta N-glycosidic bond Sugar-phosphate-sugar = phosphodiester bond
