Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose is a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are mainly used for quick energy inside cells, but they also play an important role in cell structure and communication. Carbohydrates are macromolecules called polysaccharides, meaning they are made of many sugars.
Detailed explanation-2: -A good example of this is a macromolecule called glycogen. Glycogen is a carbohydrate polymer made of many repeating subunits bonded together. The monomers that are bonded together to form glycogen are glucose molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose, galactose, and fructose are isomeric monosaccharides (hexoses), meaning they have the same chemical formula but have slightly different structures.
