Question

Glucose is also known as:
A. Invert sugar
B. Cane sugar
C. Grape sugar
D. Fruit sugar

Answer 1

Hint:
We know that glucose generally be used in the manufacturing of sucrose. Both the compounds glucose and sucrose come under the category of organic molecules. The sucrose, glucose and fructose all three are sweet in taste.

Complete step by step solution
As we all know, glucose, sucrose and fructose all come in the category of sugar, but they all have different chemical and physical properties. The sucrose is famous as invert sugar or cane sugar because when the hydrolysis of that sucrose occurs, it shows the change in the optical rotation and sucrose is manufactured from sugar cane that is why it is also termed as the cane sugar.

The glucose is obtained or manufactured from ripe grapes, so it is termed as the grape sugar. It has dextrose structure. The chemical formula of glucose and fructose is the same, but they definitely have a different structural formula. The formula of glucose is ${{\rm{C}}_{\rm{6}}}{{\rm{H}}_{{\rm{12}}}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{6}}}$.

In the glucose formula, six carbon atoms are present, twelve hydrogen atoms are present, and six oxygen atoms are present. The glucose is one of the monosaccharide carbohydrates.

Hence, the correct option for this question is C, that is grape sugar.

Note:
Generally, the glucose is used to treat the disease named as diabetes. It fulfils the amount of sugar in the human body and reduces the effect of low blood sugar diseases that is named as hypoglycemia. The glucose is used in several cane foods and beverages to sweeten them.
