Glucose is a complicated molecule found or formed from most foods. It is used by processes in the body to provide energy via severasl complex systems.
If no energy is needed by the animal, it will get stored as body fat for later use. This is very important to hibernating animals as they need to use their body fat reserves over the winter to provide energy to convert into warmth and sustinance for the sleeping body until they awake in spring.

A simple sugar such as glucose is classified as?
monosaccharide
Single sugar molecule?
A single sugar molecule is known as a monosaccharide.
Why does glucose taste sweet?
Sugar is sweet because of the sucrose that is made from two simple sugars, glucose and fructose. Sugar molecules are also detected by our tongue making it taste the sweetness.
Can monosaccharide be hydrolyzed?
Monosaccharides are simple sugars. They are carbohydrates and one class of carbs is simple sugars and the 2 parts of simple sugars are mono- and di- saccharides
Which molecule is a product of photosynthesis?

Is a simple sugar a monomer or a polymer?
monomer (monosaccharide)
Which is a basic unit of a sugar molecules?
Monosaccharide
Is monosaccharide found in plant or animal?
Monosaccharide is found in some plant forms and all animals. Monosaccharide is a simple sugar and the most basic form of carbohydrate.
Is table sugar a simple sugar?
No "Table sugar" is called in chemistry saccharose or sucrose; the chemical formula is C12H22O11. This is a disaccharide, not a simple (monosaccharide) sugar.
Fructose is also known as?
Fruit sugar. Fructose is a simple monosaccharide found in plants.
Is glucose a carbohydrates or lipids or proteins?
Glucose is a simple sugar, also known as a monosaccharide. It is a carbohydrate.
What is the main difference between a monosaccharide and a disaccharide?
A monosaccharide is just one carbon ring and is very soluble , example : glucose. A disaccharide consists of 2 carbon rings and is partially soluble , example : lactose ( galactose + glucose = lactose)
