What is the major monosaccharide in our body?

Glucose, usually stored in the liver and muscle cells as glycogen.


How is glucose an important factor in lactose synthesis?

Glucose is important for lactose synthesis because it provides the substrate for the enzyme lactose synthase to combine with galactose to form lactose. Without glucose, there would not be enough substrate available for lactose synthesis to occur efficiently. Additionally, glucose can stimulate the production of lactose synthase enzyme, further promoting lactose synthesis in mammary glands.


How many possible isomers of glucose exist and what are some examples?

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.


Is glucose an element mixture or compound?

Glucose is a compound. Oxygen, carbon and hydrogen are individual elements that create glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar that is important source of energy for living organisms.


How do you test for urine glucose?

Urine glucose can be tested using a urine dipstick test. This involves dipping a test strip into a urine sample and checking the color change that indicates the presence of glucose. However, it is important to note that a urine dipstick test is not as accurate as blood tests for measuring glucose levels.

Why is glucose important to both plant cells and animal cells?

It is used as an energy source in cells is via aerobic or anaerobic respiration. Both of these start with the early steps of the glycolysis metabolic pathway. The first step of this is the phosphorylation of glucose by hexokinase to prepare it for later breakdown to provide energy.The major reason for the immediate phosphorylation of glucose by a hexokinase is to prevent diffusion out of the cell. The phosphorylation adds a charged phosphate group so the glucose 6-phosphate cannot easily cross the cell membrane. Irreversible first steps of a metabolic pathway are common for regulatory purposes.(source: from someone's science book)


Why is glucose your bodies single most important source of energy?

Glucose is very important source. This is because, your brain can use glucose only as a source of energy. Rest of the body can manage without the glucose. Fortunately you get much more glucose from your food than required by your body. Glucose being the primary product of photosynthesis.
