Detailed explanation-1: -The six membered cyclic structure of glucose is called pyranose structure or form, in analogy with Pyran.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sugars such as glucose exist in equilibrium between their open-chain form and various cyclic forms where an OH group and an aldehyde combine to form a cyclic hemiacetal. In the case of glucose, a 5-or 6-membered ring can form, depending on which hydroxyl group adds to the aldehyde.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose has an aldehyde group (-CHO) on carbon atom number one and is therefore called an “aldose, ‘’ also it has six carbon atoms (a hexose) so it can be called an “aldohexose.” The reactive group on fructose, however, is a ketone group (-C=0) on carbon number two.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose (also known as dextrose) is a carbohydrate compound consisting of six carbon atoms and an aldehyde group and they are referred to as aldohexose. The glucose structure can exist in an open-chain (acyclic) and ring (cyclic) form.
