Glucose molecule
Glucose. Computer-generated model of glucose (C6H12O6). Glucose is composed of carbon (green), hydrogen (grey-white) and oxygen (red). Glucose is a monosaccharide (sugar). It consists of a ring of five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Attached around the ring are hydroxyl (OH) groups. Glucose is present in many plants and is the sugar carried by the blood. It is a constituent of starch, cellulose, glycogen and sucrose

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a glucose molecule, represented by a computer-generated model. The glucose molecule (C6H12O6) is composed of carbon atoms depicted in vibrant green, hydrogen atoms in subtle grey-white, and oxygen atoms portrayed in striking red. As a monosaccharide or sugar, glucose plays an essential role in various biological processes. The image depicts glucose as a ring structure consisting of five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Attached around this ring are hydroxyl (OH) groups that add to its distinctive composition. Glucose can be found abundantly in many plants and serves as the primary sugar transported through our bloodstream. It also acts as an integral component of starch, cellulose, glycogen, and sucrose. Through this artful illustration created using advanced computer technology, we gain insight into the complex world of biochemistry at the molecular level. This graphic representation allows us to appreciate the elegance and precision with which nature constructs even the smallest building blocks of life. Science Photo Library presents this stunning visual masterpiece capturing the essence of glucose's chemical structure without any commercial intent. Delve into the realm where science meets art with this remarkable print that celebrates both scientific curiosity and aesthetic appreciation simultaneously
