Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose is a sugar with the molecular formula C6H12O6. Glucose is overall the most abundant monosaccharide, a subcategory of carbohydrates.
Detailed explanation-2: -If you look at the formula for glucose, it is C6H12O6. The least common denominator is 6. If you divide the 12 Hydrogen atoms in the equation by 6, the result is 2. If you divide the 6 oxygen atoms by 6, the result is 1.
Detailed explanation-3: -Although glucose, galactose, and fructose all have the same chemical formula (C6H12O6), they differ structurally and chemically (and are known as isomers) because of the different arrangement of functional groups around the asymmetric carbon; all of these monosaccharides have more than one asymmetric carbon (Figure3.2.
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.
