Glucose is a simple monosaccharide, and it is also one of the main energy sources of sugar in the organism. Its molecular formula is C6H12O6, and the structure is a ring molecule. Glucose is widely existed in nature, commonly in foods such as fruits, vegetables, honey and sugar cane juice. It is a white crystal solid with sweetness.

Glucose is an important substance for human energy metabolism. It generates energy through glucose yeast. When glucose enters the human body, after a series of metabolic processes, it will eventually be converted into ATP (trimer phosphoricate) to provide various cells in the body for life activity. Therefore, glucose is a substance necessary for the human body to maintain normal operation.

In addition to being able to provide energy, glucose also has other important functions. First of all, glucose is the basis for constituting other sugars of the human body, such as starch, glycogen and cellulose. Secondly, glucose can also regulate blood sugar levels and maintain the body's metabolic balance. When the blood glucose concentration is too high, insulin can promote cells to ingest glucose and reduce the concentration of blood sugar; when the blood glucose concentration is too low, the liver releases the original sugar into glucose to provide energy. In addition, glucose is an important antioxidant that can help cells to remove free radicals and reduce oxidation damage.

Glucose not only plays an important role in the human body, but also is widely used in industries such as food, medicine and cosmetics. In the food industry, glucose is commonly used as a sweetener and a moisturizing agent to increase the taste of food and maintain its moisture content. In the field of pharmaceuticals, glucose is used as a accessories for drugs and is used to prepare oral solutions, injections and various pills. In cosmetics, glucose is often used in the moisturizers in skin care products and cosmetics, which can provide lasting moisturizing effects.

All in all, glucose is an important monosaccharide, which plays a variety of functions such as energy supply, basic material composition and metabolic regulation in the human body. Its widespread application makes it an indispensable material in food, medicine and cosmetics. However, excessive glucose intake in the diet may also lead to obesity, diabetes and other diseases. Therefore, in daily life, it is necessary to take appropriate amounts and maintain a balanced dietary habit.
