Glucose is a monosaccharide with the chemical formula of C6H12O6. It is invovled in many biological processes including glycolysis. Glycolysis invovles the conversion of glucose to pyruvate. This process is fundamental to respiration.Glucose and form glycosidic bond with another glucose to form a disaccharide called maltose. More glucose and be added to form a polysaccharide molecule known as starch.
