   Glucose
   A common sugar, one of many with the chemical formula C6O6H12 but different three-dimensional structures. It is not the simplest of all sugars (that honour belongs to glyceraldehyde, C3O3H6), but glucose is the fundamental building block of many biopolymers, including starch and cellulose, and is the starting material for the serious biochemical reactions used to obtain energy in most 'higher' organisms.

   Glucose
   A thick, clear, simple form of sugar. Produced by the breakdown of starch or sugar compounds that have been treated with acids or enzymes and then fermented. The thickness of the liquid glucose depends on how much the starch cells have broken down. It can be produced from corn, potatoes, grapes, or honey, or any other starch or fruit. Corn syrup is another name for liquid glucose in the United States. Used in many processed foods as a sweetener that resists crystallization and provides elasticit...

   Glucose
   a molecule of great importance to life as it provides a ready source of energy for both plant and animal cells. Glucose can only be formed in plants with the aid of sunlight. This process of photosynthesis sustains all animal life on earth. The glucose molecule is formed by a ring of a six carbon atoms. It is progressively broken down in a process called glycolysis during both aerobic and anaerobic respiration into ATP

    Glucose
    is obtained from sweet foods, and from starchy foods such as bread and potatoes. After a meal the blood glucose level rises and insulin is released into the blood. When the blood glucose falls again during activity, the insulin level also falls. Insulin stops the blood glucose getting too high. See Insulin and Diabetes.

    glucose
    (= dextrose) Six-carbon sugar (aldohexose) widely distributed in plants and animals. Breakdown of glucose (glycolysis) is a major energy source for metabolic processes. In green plants, glucose is a major product of photosynthesis, and is stored as the polymer starch. In animals it is obtained chiefly from dietary di- and polysaccharides, but also by gluconeogenesis, and is stored as glycogen. Storage polymer in microorganisms is dextran.

    Glucose
    `Glucose` (Glc), a monosaccharide (or simple sugar), is an 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 and eukaryotes. The name comes from the Greek word `glykys` , which means `sweet`, plus the suffix `-ose` which denotes a sugar. Two stereoisomers of the aldohexose sugars are...
