What is the name of the simple sugar with the molecular formula CHO that reduces bismuth oxynitrate to bismuth under alkaline conditions?
Glucose Glucose is a simple sugar with the molecular formula CHO. Glucose circulates in the blood of animals as blood sugar. It is made during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight. It is the most important source of energy for cellular respiration. Glucose is stored as a polymer, in plants as starch and in animals as glycogen.
