    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_molecules

    This is an index of lists of molecules (i.e. by year, number of atoms, etc.). Millions of molecules have existed in the universe since before the formation of Earth. Three of them, carbon dioxide , water and oxygen were necessary for the growth of life.

  3. Glucose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose

    Dextrose monohydrate is the hydrated form of D-glucose, meaning that it is a glucose molecule with an additional water molecule attached. [39] Its chemical formula is C 6 H 12 O 6 · H 2 O. [39] [40] Dextrose monohydrate is also called hydrated D-glucose, and commonly manufactured from plant starches.

  5. Composition of the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

    Water is ~11% hydrogen by mass but ~67% hydrogen by atomic percent, and these numbers along with the complementary % numbers for oxygen in water, are the largest contributors to overall mass and atomic composition figures. Because of water content, the human body contains more oxygen by mass than any other element, but more hydrogen by atom ...

  6. Cellulose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose

    Molecules with very small chain length resulting from the breakdown of cellulose are known as cellodextrins; in contrast to long-chain cellulose, cellodextrins are typically soluble in water and organic solvents. The chemical formula of cellulose is (C 6 H 10 O 5) n where n is the degree of polymerization and represents the number of glucose ...

  7. Glycogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycogen

    Glucose molecules are added to the chains of glycogen as long as both insulin and glucose remain plentiful. In this postprandial or "fed" state, the liver takes in more glucose from the blood than it releases. After a meal has been digested and glucose levels begin to fall, insulin secretion is reduced, and glycogen synthesis stops.

  8. List of sugars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sugars

    This is a list of sugars and sugar products. Sugar is the generalized name for sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. They are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are various types of sugar derived from different sources. Generally speaking, chemical names ending in -ose indicate sugars.
