Answer:

Glucose (C6H12O6) is a carbohydrate, contains -CHO functional group, so it is not Acid. Glucose otherwise generally called as Aldose. It contains 6 Carbons, it also called as Hexose.

Alcohols or neither acids nor bases. As per Arrhenius theory of acids, those who produce H+ ions in water are called acids. Alcohols say for example C2H5OH (Ethanol) do not completely dissociated in water. They are very weak acids and slightly basic in nature.

So we don't call them acids.
