Question

Glucose is an example of-

Answer 1

Glucose

• Glucose is a sugar with molecular formula$\left({\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_{12}{\mathrm{O}}_6\right)$.
• It is the most abundant monosaccharides.
• Glucose has a molecular structure it contains both an aldehyde (an aldose) and six carbons (a hexose).
• Structure:

Glucose is an example of Aldohexose

• The cyclic structure represents 6 member ring with 6 carbon and an aldehyde group. Therefore it is aldohexose.
• The molecular structure of D-glucose is the most common aldohexose.

Therefore, Glucose is an example of aldohexose.
