Your question is not specific enough - what do you mean by isomer?
If you mean stereoisomers (likely question with biomolecules) the two most common stereoisomers of glucose are L-glucose and D-glucose. There are 4 chiral carbons in glucose so there would be 42 or 16 possible stereoisomers.
The other most important stereoisomers would be mannose and galactose.

How many possible isomers could exist for diacetylferrocene?
3 different isomers exist.
How can glucose and fructose have the same molecular formula and yet be two different molecules?
The similarity is that fructose and glucose are related to carbohydates. Fructose is a carbohydrate that is found in fruit, fruit juices, and some vegetables, whereas glucose is the simplest form of carbohydrate used by your body.
What are the optical isomers of d-fructose?
Fructose (and most of Monosaccharides) exist in two enantiomeric forms their structures related as mirror images. 1-d-fructose and 2-l-fructose.
How can two compounds make from the same element be different?
Isomers are compounds that exist in different molecular arrangements of atoms of the same elements and having identical atomic weights. Although isomers of a compound contain the same atoms in their molecules, the atoms are arranged in a different molecular structure and the isomers may differ in their physical, chemical, and biological properties.
How many isomers are there of C3H5Br3?
There are (in total) 8 structural isomers of C5H11Br, from the 3 different 'pentanyl' hydrocarbon (-C5H11) isomers (n-pentane, iso-pentane and neo-pentane):3x in n-pentane: 1-, or 2-, or 3-Bromo-pentane4x in isopentane: 1-, or 2-, or 3-, or 4-Bromo-Methyl-butane1x in neopentane: 1-Bromo-diMethyl-propane
How many possible isomers could exist for diacetylferrocene?
3 different isomers exist.
Does Isomers Exist in Disaccharides?
Yes.
What is an nonsubstituted alkane that can exist as one of only two isomers?
Butune is a nonsubstituted alkane that can exist as one of only two isomers.

Why d glucose exist in nature?
D-glucose is obtained by photosynthesis.
What is the chemical name of mgc2o4?
MgC2O4 is most probably named 'magnesium oxalate', though isomers might exist.
How do you find glucose?
To tell if glucose is in food you use iodine that turns brown

How many structural isomers exist for C6H14?
Well let me see... isomers are compounds which share the same moecular formula (ieC6H14) but have different structures. So isomers of hexane (c6h14) include: Hexane 2-Methylpentane 3-Methylpentane 2,3-Dimethylbutane 2,2-Dimethylbutane Hope this helps
How many isomers can be formed by 1-1-methylcyclohexane when mixed withstrong base?
1-1-methylcyclohexane does not exist, what you may be reffering to is 1,1-dimethylcyclohexane.
How many isomers are there of C3H5Br3?
