Glucose

What do we mean by glucose?

A monosaccharide sugar, C6H12O6, occurring widely in most plant and animal tissue. It is the principal circulating sugar in the blood and the major energy source of the body. noun

A colorless to yellowish syrupy mixture of dextrose, maltose, and dextrins containing about 20 percent water, used in confectionery, alcoholic fermentation, tanning, and treating tobacco. noun

The name of a group of sugars having the formula. C6H12O6, which may be regarded as aldehydes of hexatomic alcohols. noun

In com., the sugar-syrup obtained by the conversion of starch into sugar by sulphuric acid, the solid product being called grape-sugar, starch-sugar, diabetic sugar, etc. noun

A variety of sugar occurring in nature very abundantly, as in ripe grapes, and in honey, and produced in great quantities from starch, etc., by the action of heat and acids. It is only about half as sweet as cane sugar. Called also dextrose, grape sugar, diabetic sugar, and starch sugar. See Dextrose. noun

Any one of a large class of sugars, isometric with glucose proper, and including levulose, galactose, etc. noun

The trade name of a sirup, obtained as an uncrystallizable reside in the manufacture of glucose proper, and containing, in addition to some dextrose or glucose, also maltose, dextrin, etc. It is used as a cheap adulterant of sirups, beers, etc. noun

A simple monosaccharide (sugar) with a molecular formula of C6H12O6; it is a principle source of energy for cellular metabolism. noun

A monosaccharide sugar that has several forms; an important source of physiological energy noun

A simple monosaccharide (sugar) with a molecular formula of C6H12O6; it is a principle source of energy for cellular metabolism.
