Glucose is a simple sugar with the molecular formula C6H12O6. Glucose circulates in the blood of animals as blood sugar. It is made during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight. It is the most important source of energy for cellular respiration. Glucose is stored as a polymer, in plants as starch and in animals as glycogen. With 6 carbon atoms, it is classed as a hexose, a subcategory of the monosaccharides. D-Glucose is one of the 16 aldohexose stereoisomers. The D-isomer, D-glucose, also known as dextrose, occurs widely in nature, but the L-isomer, L-glucose, does not.
A molecule of glucose, which is broken down by an organism into carbon dioxide and water in a process called glucose oxidation. A strand of DNA, which is created by the energy that is produced through glucose oxidation. Mitochondria use the by-products of glucose oxidation to produce ATP.
