What’s the chemical formula for glucose?
A
6C6H12O6
B
C12H6O12
C
C6H12O6
D
CHO
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The chemical formula of Glucose is C6H12O6. Glucose is a monosaccharide containing an aldehyde group (-CHO). It is made of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms. Glucose is an aldohexose.

Detailed explanation-2: -D-Glucose is a metabolite found in or produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Glucose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) generated during phosynthesis involving water, carbon and sunlight in plants. It is produced in humans via hepatic gluconeogenesis and breakdown of polymeric glucose forms (glycogenolysis).

Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose (C6H12O6) is one of the most important monosaccharides, which is synthesized during photosynthesis and serves as the ‘fuel’ and source of energy, stored as a polymer glycogen in animals and as starch in plants.
