Glucose is a form of simple sugar, which is a carbohydrate. Our cells need it for energy. Glucose is important for cellular respiration. Chemically, glucose is made up of six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms. Naturally, glucose can be found in plants and is one of the products needed for photosynthesis. Glucose is found in fungi and starchy plants. Animals synthesize glucose in the liver and kidneys. Commercially, glucose is found in food products such as corn, rice, wheat products, and potatoes.
