  Glucose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glucose contains six carbon atoms and an aldehyde group and is therefore referred to as an aldohexose.
The glucose molecule can exist in an open-chain (acyclic) and ring (cyclic) form, the latter being the result of an intramolecular reaction between the aldehyde C atom and the C-5 hydroxyl group to form an intramolecular hemiacetal.
In this ring, each carbon is linked to an hydroxyl side group with the exception of the fifth atom, which links to a sixth carbon atom outside the ring, forming a CH OH group.

 Carbohydrate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For instance, glucose is an aldohexose, fructose a ketohexose, and ribose an aldopentose.
Further, each carbon atom that supports a hydroxyl group (except for the first and last) is a stereogenic centre, allowing a number of different enantiomers and stereoisomers for carbohydrates with the same basic structure.
For instance, galactose is an aldohexose but has different properties from glucose because the atoms are arranged differently.

 CarbohydratesII
At the outset Fischer knew that D-glucose was an aldohexose.
Fischer knew that he could not assign absolute stereochemistry to any chiral center, so he arbitrarily designated those aldohexoses with the OH group at C-5 projecting to the right as D sugars.
Draw Fischer projections of the aldaric acids that would be formed from aldohexoses 2 and 6 and 4 and 8.

 Olympus MIC-D: Polarized Light Gallery - Mannose
Two isomers, mannopyranose and mannofuranose, feature 6 carbons, 12 hydrogens, and 6 oxygen atoms per molecule, as does glucose, and a melting point of 132 degrees Celsius.
Known also as aldohexose, mannose has a molecular weight of 180.16 and forms hexagonal ring structures with one carbon substituted with an oxygen atom and aldehyde group.
The monosaccharide is found naturally in glycolipids and glycoproteins of plants, fungi, and bacteria in polymerized forms called mannans that serve as food energy stores.

 Glucose   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Glucose is a simple, single unit, aldohexose, sugar called a monosaccharide.
It is the optical isomer of glucose, d-glucose, also know by its old name dextrose, that is the most common, naturally occurring form of glucose.
Hence an example of a aldohexose is glucose (see diagram).

 Carbohydrates
D-Glucose is an aldohexose with four stereogenic centers stacked on top of one another.
Five and six-membered cyclic hemiacetals are particularly stable and many carbohydrates therefore exist in equilibrium between open-chain and cyclic forms.
Pyranose is the six-membered cyclic hemiacetal formed from aldohexoses.
