Explain the structure of glucose.
✓
Answer
Molecular formula of glucose is $C _6 H _{12} O _6$.
Glucose has an aldohexose structure. In other words, glucose molecule contains one aldehydic, that is, formyl group and the remaining five carbons carry one hydroxyl group (-OH) each. The six carbons in glucose form one straight chain.
