A Haworth projection representation of the structure of glucose. Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6) is a hexose -- a monosaccharide containing six carbon atoms. Glucose is an aldehyde (contains a-CHO group). Five of the carbons plus an oxygen atom form a loop called a pyranose ring, the most stable form for six-carbon aldoses. In this ring, each carbon is linked to hydroxyl and hydrogen side groups with the exception of the fifth atom, which links to a 6th carbon atom outside the ring, forming a CH 2 OH group.
