In terms of chemistry

Glucose is a simple sugar with the molecular formula C6H12O6.Glucose is a monosaccharide containing six carbon atoms and an aldehyde group, and is therefore an aldohexose. The glucose molecule can exist in an open - chain (acyclic) as well as ring (cyclic) form.

In terms of biology.

Glucose is the main type of sugar in the blood and is the major source of energy for the body's cells. Glucose comes from the foods we eat or the body can make it from other substances. Glucose is carried to the cells through the bloodstream. Several hormones, including insulin, control glucose levels in the blood.

It is a simple sugar monosaccharide.

  • It is the most common carbohydrate and classified as a monosaccharide.
  • It naturally obtains the empirical formula - C6H12O6
  • It is an aldohexose since it is ideally a monosaccharide with six carbon atoms and an aldehyde group.
  • The specific molecule can be discovered in two proper forms which are the open-chain which is acyclic and the ring which is cyclic.
