Glucose
Glucose or its chemical name -2,3,4,5,6-pentahydrosylhexanal is one of the monomers of carbohydrates. Glucose is the most abundant monosaccharide in nature. It is also called dextrose. There are two types of glucose D-glucose and L-glucose that are distinguished by the configuration of the fifth carbon atom. Glucose can then form, from one extending chain to, one cyclic structure as shown in the figure on the side. Glucose is synthesized by green plants in the process of photosynthesis. Glucose is a simple glut. The plants store glucose as carbohydrates called starch in cereals such as rice, corn, barley and so on. Glucose in the solution rotates the polar light to the right, so it is known as dextrose sugar. The amount of glucose needed by the body daily is 160g. 120g of it is needed by the adult brain every day. The amount of glucose found in body fluids is 20g and the existing of degradation of storage glycogen is 190g. Therefore, the stored glycogen can supply enough glucose to the body for a day.
