well, they're both monomers (smallest unit) of carbohydrates. Glucose is made of 6 carbons, 12 hydorgens and 6 oxygens while ribose is made of 5 carbons, 10 hydrogens and 5 oxygens. glucose is used by organisms to get energy from while ribose is a component of the DNA. I think that's it hope i helped.

Glucose and ribose are monosaccharides. This means that they are both simple sugars and carbohydrates. They are water soluble and used for energy.

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! :)
