Glucose can be in several different forms. Dry or powdered glucose is in a chain form, but more often glucose is represented in a hexagonal form. Further specification of alpha or beta glucose may be required as this can alter the chemical properties to some extent.

How do you draw the formula for lactose?

To draw the structural formula for lactose, start with a glucose molecule. Attach a galactose molecule to the glucose molecule through a beta-1,4 glycosidic bond. This forms the disaccharide lactose.

Why is glucose a structural isomer?

A structural isomer is when molecules have the same formula, but a different structure. Glucose is a structural isomer because Pyruvate and Ribose have the same formula (CH2O), but have a different number of carbons, hydrogens and oxygens: C3H6O3 - Pyruvate C5H10O5 - Ribose C6H12O6 - Glucose Hope this helps! :)

Glucose and fructose with the formula c6h12o6 differ in?

The actual chemical formula isn't different - both are C6H12O6. The only reason glucose and fructose are different is because the atoms are arranged differently. View the Related Links below to see the molecular arrangements of Fructose and Glucose.


What is glucoes formula?

Glucose is C6H12O6 For your own curiosity; sucrose is C12H22O11 fructose is also C6H12O6 but it is structural isomer of glucose.


Is the ratio the same in glucose and frucrtose?

Yes. Glucose and fructose are isomers, having the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. Because they have the same formula, the ratios of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms are the same for both glucose and fructose.

What is an example of an expanded structural formula for a cyclic compound?

An example of an expanded structural formula for a cyclic compound is cyclohexane, which is a six-carbon ring with all single bonds. The expanded structural formula would show all the carbon and hydrogen atoms in the ring, along with the single bonds between them.
