Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the formula of Glucose?
A
C3H16O36
B
C632H123O239
C
C6H12O6
D
C12H6O12
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, one of the many carbohydrate components, is considered the simplest form of sugar and an important energy source for living organisms. It belongs to the subcategory of carbohydrates known as Monosaccharides. Its molecular formula is C6H12O6.

Detailed explanation-4: -The chemical formula is c, 6 h, 12.06. So that means there are 3 elements in the compound c. Is carbon h is hydrogen and o is oxygenhow? Many atoms of each of these elements are present.

Detailed explanation-5: -A molecular formula is a formula that represents the actual number of each atom in a compound. Whereas CH2O is the empirical formula for glucose, C6H12O6 is the molecular formula. An actual molecule of glucose contains six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms.
