Question

What type of biomolecule is glucose?

Answer 1

1. The most abundant and major class of biomolecule is carbohydrates.
2. The general formula of carbohydrates is ${\mathbf{C}}_{\mathbf{n}}{\left(H_{2}O\right)}_{\mathbf{n}}$.
3. Glucose is a simple and monosaccharide sugar.
4. The molecular formula of glucose is ${\mathbf{C}}_{\mathbf{6}}{\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{12}}{\mathbf{O}}_{\mathbf{6}}$ or ${\mathbf{C}}_{\mathbf{6}}{\left(H_{2}O\right)}_{\mathbf{6}}$.
5. Therefore, glucose belongs to the carbohydrate biomolecule.
