...Glucose (Glc), a monosaccharide (or simple sugar) also known as grape sugar, blood sugar, or corn sugar, is a very important carbohydrate in biology. The living cell uses it as a source of energy and metabolic intermediate. Glucose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and starts cellular respiration in both prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) and eukaryotes (animals, plants, fungi, and protists). Read full entry

Glucose...?
i'm doing an assignment on the
compound glucose but am having
some trouble finding
information..
i need to know:
its state of matter at room
temperature
appearance
name and symbol of each of its
constituents
if anyone has any information
on these things or any
information in general it
would be great
:)
thanks

Glucose is a simple hydrocarbon and the most basic of sugars. It is a white solid at room temperature and contains the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). Being a hydrocarbon, glucose (and all sugars) burn releasing mostly water vapor and carbon dioxide. |

What is the major difference A. Glucose has 6 carbons;
sorbitol has 5 carbons.
B. Glucose has 6 carbons;
sorbitol has 7 carbons.
C. Glucose contains hydroxy
groups; sorbitol does not
contain hydroxy groups.
D. Glucose contains an
aldehyde carbon; sorbitol has
an alcohol carbon in that
location.

D. glucose contains an aldehyde carbon; sorbitol has an alcohol in that location Sorbitol, also known as glucitol, is a sugar alcohol that the body metabolizes slowly. It is obtained by reduction of glucose, changing the aldehyde group to a hydroxyl group hence the name sugar alcohol. |

Why is glucose converted into is it something to do with
glucose being a monomer and
sucrose being a disaccharide
consisting of 1 alpha-glucose
and 1 beta-fructose?
please help!
thank you!

Glucose and fructose are the monosaccharides. When you take a molecule of each and take away one water molecule, a H from one and an OH from the other, the resulting disaccharide sucrose is formed. By forming the more complex sugar, the plant is able to store energy more efficiently in a more compact form as the disaccharide. When it requires the monosaccharides for the energy cycle, it hydrolyzes the sucrose back into the glucose and fructose by adding back one molecule of water. |
