glucose, one of a group of carbohydrates known as simple sugars (monosaccharides). Glucose (from Greek glykys; “sweet”) has the molecular formula C 6 H 1 2 O 6. It is found in fruits and honey and is the major free sugar circulating in the blood of higher animals.

3 Οκτ 2024 · Sugar, any of numerous sweet, colorless, water-soluble compounds present in the sap of seed plants and the milk of mammals and making up the simplest group of carbohydrates. The most common sugar is sucrose, a crystalline tabletop and industrial sweetener used in foods and beverages.
26 Μαΐ 2022 · Sugar is a monosaccharide or a disaccharide. Sugars are mostly known commercially as any sweet crystalline solid disaccharide (sucrose) or monosaccharide (glucose) used as a sweetener or a preservative. Biologically, sugars are used especially by organisms as a source of metabolic energy (ATP).
25 Αυγ 2018 · Sucrose, commonly known as “table sugar” or “cane sugar”, is a carbohydrate formed from the combination of glucose and fructose. Glucose is the simple carbohydrate formed as a result of photosynthesis. Fructose is nearly identical, except for the location of a double-bonded oxygen.
Through photosynthesis, plants produce glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), a phosphated 3-carbon sugar that is used by the cell to make monosaccharides such as glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6) or (as in cane and beet) sucrose (C 12 H 22 O 11).
Glucose is a sugar with the molecular formula C 6 H 12 O 6. Glucose is overall the most abundant monosaccharide, [4] a subcategory of carbohydrates. Glucose is mainly made by plants and most algae during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight.
Carbohydrates are commonly described as sugars, or saccharides, from the Greek word for sugar. The simplest carbohydrates are called monosaccharides. An example is glucose. Monosaccharides can be joined to make larger molecules. Disaccharides contain two monosaccharides. Sucrose is a disaccharide, containing both fructose and glucose.
