A simplified ball-and-stick diagram depicts the cyclic pyranose form of glucose (Glc), a hexose monosaccharide carbohydrate molecule. Gray spheres represent carbon atoms, red indicate oxygen, and white denote hydrogen, forming a six-membered ring with hydroxyl substituents. In biochemistry and metabolism, this small molecule functions as a primary energy substrate, entering glycolysis in the cytosol to support ATP production and biosynthesis. As a molecular component within cellular pathways, glucose also serves as a precursor for glycogen storage and nucleotide and lipid synthesis.
