"How Does Glucose Serve as Life's Essential Energy Source?"

Glucose also known as dextrose because of its dextrorotatory. It has other names such as grape sugar, blood sugar and corn-sugar. Glucose is a monosaccharide and its often found combined with Fructose forming the common di-saccharide table sugar.

Glucose plays a crucial role in energy production for life. Its the primary source of energy for every known biological organism. In plants, glucose is produced by photosynthesis. In animals, glucose is broken down into energy through complex biochemical phases including glycolysis and Krebs cycle.

Human Blood normally contains 65 - 100 mg per 100ml.

The molecular formula for glucose is C₆H₁₂O₆

Glucose has a straight chain or cyclical structure, The cyclical structure is by far the most common
