What is the correct chemical formula of glucose?
A
C6H12O6
B
C6H12O
C
C2H12O6
D
C6H6O6
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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose has a chemical formula of: C6H12O6 That means glucose is made of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms. You will be building one type of sugar called glucose. Glucose is produced during photosynthesis and acts as the fuel for many organisms.

Detailed explanation-5: -The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6.
