glükoosii
Glükoosii, also known as glucose, is a simple sugar and a vital carbohydrate that serves as the primary source of energy for most living organisms. Its chemical formula is C6H12O6. In its pure form, it is a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. Glucose is a monosaccharide, meaning it cannot be broken down into simpler sugars by hydrolysis. It exists in both open-chain and ring structures, with the ring form being more stable.
The body obtains glucose through the digestion of complex carbohydrates found in foods like grains, fruits,
Beyond its role in immediate energy, glucose is a fundamental building block for larger carbohydrate molecules.
