Answer and Explanation:

Glucose is a hexose with six carbon atoms. It is also an aldose, meaning that it has an aldehyde group, CHO in its first carbon atom. The molecule also has hydroxyl groups, OH linked to the carbon atoms.

Its linear structure shows six carbons united in a line. One of its carbon atoms is linked to a carbonate group, H-C=O. The other five carbons are linked to the hydroxyl groups, OH.

In an aqueous solution, the glucose molecule turns to the ringed or cyclic structure, as a result of the reaction among the first carbon and the oxygen of the hydroxyl group linked to the fifth carbon.

You will find the complete glucose molecule in one of the attached files (named glucose), plus the linear and cyclic structure in the other file (named glucose1).
