Ball-and-stick model of a glucose molecule (in one of its cyclic, pyranose forms). Natta projection of a glucose molecule in one of its open-chain forms. Its open-chain forms are fleeting compared to its cyclic (pyranose and furanose ) forms.Etymology
edit
Through French , from Ancient Greek γλεῦκος ( gleûkos , “ wine, must ” ) ; note: -ose comes from glucose , not the other way round. In other words, the view of the word glucose as gluco- + -ose is a reanalysis rather than a historical etymology. This is unusual for being a reanalysis that works completely, that is, without any leftover nonsense syllables (such as the ham- in reanalyzed hamburger ).
