Glucose is a simple carbohydrate which means it contains carbon hydrogen and oxygen Sugars like glucose C6H12O6 with six carbon atoms are referred to as hexoses and it has one sugar unit so it is a monosaccharide. Glucose, a monosaccharide (or simple sugar) also known as grape sugar, blood sugar, or corn sugar, is a very important carbohydrate in biology. The living cell uses it as a source of energy and metabolic intermediate. Glucose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and starts cellular respiration in both prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) and eukaryotes (animals, plants, fungi, and protists). Glucose is a ubiquitous fuel in biology. It is used as an energy source in most organisms, from bacteria to humans. Use of glucose may be by either aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, or fermentation.
