How many carbons are in a glucose molecule?
A
1
B
3
C
6
D
12
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This molecule of the sugar glucose consists of 6 carbon atoms bonded together as a chain with additional atoms of oxygen and hydrogen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is a 6-carbon structure with the chemical formula C6H12O6. It is a ubiquitous source of energy for every organism in the world and is essential to fuel both aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is made of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is a hexose, with six carbon atoms (Fig. 5.41), and an aldehyde-aldose monosaccharide.

Detailed explanation-5: -Benzotriyne or cyclo[6]carbon is a hypothetical compound, an allotrope of carbon with molecular formula C 6. The molecule is a ring of six carbon atoms, connected by alternating triple and single bonds. It is, therefore, a potential member of the cyclo[n]carbon family.
