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! :)


Is Glucose and Fructose a geometric isomer?

Nope. They are structural isomers.


Is galactose an isomer?

Isomers are molecules that have the same chemical formula but different physical arrangements of atoms. Glucose and galactose are two of the several sugars having the formula C6H12O6, but have different arrangements of the atoms in their molecules.


What is molecular formula for fructose?

Fructose or fruit Sugar (also levulose or laevulose) is a 6-carbon polyhydroxyketone. It is an isomer of glucose, meaning both have the same molecular formula (C6H12O6), but they differ structurally. Glucose is an aldehyde i.s.o. ketone.For structural formula cf. 'Related links'


What do glucose and fructose have in common?

Glucose and fructose have some things in common. The most common thing they have is that they are both simple sugars.


What is glucoes formula?

Glucose is C6H12O6 For your own curiosity; sucrose is C12H22O11 fructose is also C6H12O6 but it is structural isomer of glucose.


What is the difference between an isomer and a constitutional isomer?

An isomer is a molecule with the same chemical formula but different structural arrangement of atoms. A constitutional isomer is a type of isomer where the atoms are connected in a different order.


Is Glucose and Fructose a functional isomer?

Yes. Glucose is an isomer of fructose and vice versa. Both have the molecular formula C6H12O6. Isomers are compounds with the same number of different elements per molecule but differ in, for example, their structural formulae.


Is cacl2 an isomer?

No. CaCl2 is neither ans isomer, nor does it have isomers.


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.


Which isomer is always found in protein?

L-isomer is always found in proteins.


What would happen if you added another carbon to glucose?

If you add another carbon to glucose, you would get a six-carbon sugar called fructose. Fructose is a structural isomer of glucose with a slightly different arrangement of atoms, primarily found in fruits and honey.
