Description

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is a simple sugar, or monosaccharide, that plays a crucial role in the body as a primary source of energy. It is the most common carbohydrate used by cells in organisms to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of cells. Naturally occurring in fruits, vegetables, and honey, glucose is often used in food and beverage products, pharmaceuticals, and medical treatments.
