Question

Explan the structure of glucose

Answer 1

Glucose is an aldohexose, which means that it is a six-carbon sugar with a terminal aldehyde group. Glucose is a simple sugar with the molecular formula C6H12O6. , which means that it is a molecule that is made of six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atom.The glucose molecule can exist in an open-chain (acyclic) and ring (cyclic) form, the latter being the result of an intramolecular reaction between the aldehyde C atom and the C-5 hydroxyl group to form an intramolecular hemiacetal. In water solution both forms are in equilibrium and at pH 7 the cyclic one is the predominant.
