glucose - glucose (dextrose)
glucose - A 6-carbon-atom sugar (a hexose) widely distributed in plants and animals, particularly in compounds as disaccharides, e.g. sucrose, and polysaccharides, e.g. starch, cellulose, glycogen. Splitting of glucose, ultimately to CO2 and water, involving intermediary combining with phosphate, is a major energy-source for metabolic processes. In green plants, glucose is product of photosynthesis, from CO2 and water; it is stored as starch. In animals, glucose is obtained mainly from digestion of di- and polysaccharides and deamination of amino acids; it is stored as glycogen. See also: Blood Sugar.
