Detailed explanation-1: -Sugar phosphates are the esters of sugars and active intermediates in sugar metabolism. D-glucose-6-phosphate is an ester found in large amounts. Glycosides are the compounds in which a sugar molecule is linked to a non-sugar molecule (aglycone) such as alcohol or phenol.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose metabolism: fueling the brain The mammalian brain depends on glucose as its main source of energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose is the most abundant hexose in nature and is traditionally used to illustrate the reactions of glycolysis, but fructose (in the form of fructose-6-phosphate) is also readily metabolized, while galactose can easily be converted into glucose for catabolism in the pathway as well.
Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose, or blood sugar, is the main source of energy for your body’s cells, tissues, and organs. Glucose can be used immediately or stored in the liver and muscles for later use.
