Glucose structure

Structure of glucose
Glucose is a monosaccharide.
Monosaccharides are simple forms of carbohydrates.
Glucose is the most versatile sugar. And is important for all vital activities like photosynthesis and respiration.
Blood sugar is actually glucose and also we use glucose in our day-to-day life in the form of normal sugar.

Glucose structure: C6H12O6. It contains Hydroxyl group (-OH)
Carbonyl group (-C=O), Hydrogen Group (-H)
Enantiomers: D-Glucose and L-Glucose: Enantiomers: The compounds that have the same chemical formula but are mirror images of each other.
Hemiacetal and Hemiketal: Hemiacetal and Hemiketal are produced when an aldehyde or ketone reacts with alcohol
Mutarotation: The slight gradual change in the rotation to an equilibrium point.
Anomers: The alpha and beta D-Glucose are anomers of each other that is the hydrogen and hydroxyl molecules at C position one are in slight rotation and are thus in equilibrium with each other in the solution.
