Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -What are the different types of glucose? The D-isomer, D-glucose, also known as dextrose, is commonly found in nature, but the L-isomer, L-glucose, is not. Hydrolysis of carbohydrates such as dairy sugar (lactose), plant sugar (sacrose), maltose, cellulose, glycogen, etc. can be used to obtain glucose.
