When d-glucose reacts with bromine in water, a bromine atom may add to the glucose molecule, resulting in the formation of α-D-glucose bromide. This reaction can occur at the C1 or C6 position of the glucose molecule, leading to the formation of different bromo-glucose derivatives.
When D- glucose is treated with bromine water - it oxides the terminal aldehyde to carboxylic acid and the major product is gluconic acid.
When D-glucose reacts with bromine water, the product formed is glucuronic acid. This reaction involves the oxidation of glucose, converting the alcohol group on the first carbon atom of glucose into a carboxylic acid group to produce glucuronic acid.
D-glucose is obtained by photosynthesis.
D-glucose is not typically referred to as "levose." This term is commonly used for L-glucose, a stereoisomer of D-glucose where the hydroxyl (-OH) group on the asymmetric carbon farthest from the carbonyl group (-CHO) points to the left. D-glucose, on the other hand, is the naturally occurring form of glucose where the hydroxyl group on this chiral carbon points to the right.

Photosynthesis takes carbon dioxide and uses sunlight to split it into carbon and oxygen, releasing the oxygen into the air, and combining the carbon with water from the ground to create glucose.
Glucose is an aldose whereas fructose in a ketose. There is a simple qualitative test for distinguishing between D-Glucose and D-Fructose.
The D-glucose and L-glucose stereoisomers are found in nature. D-glucose is the common form of glucose found in biological systems, whereas L-glucose is less common and typically not metabolized by most organisms.
Starch consists of alpha-D glucose units, while cellulose consists of beta-D glucose units.
In an equimolar mixture of alpha-D-glucose and beta-D-glucose, the percentage of alpha form would be 50% and the percentage of beta form would also be 50%.
by mixing sunlight water and carbon dioxide and making glucose. thatz their food!! d(>_<)b
