Applications

• Photosynthesis
• Cellular Respiration
• Source of energy

General

Dextrose is also known as Glucose or grape sugar. It is a simple aldosic monosaccharide found in plants and animals. It is a monosaccharide that is absorbed directly into the bloodstream during digestion. It is an important carbohydrate in biology, which is indicated by the fact that cells use it as a secondary source of energy and a metabolic intermediate. Glucose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and fuels for cellular respiration.
