==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
[[Glucose]] is a simple [[sugar]] with [[Chemical Formula|formula]] C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>12</sub>O<sub>6</sub>.
===About Glucose===
: [[Glucose]] has a store of [[Chemical Potential Energy Store|chemical potential energy]].
: [[Glucose]] is used in [[respiration]] to provide [[energy]] for [[Cell (Biology)|cells]].
: [[Glucose]] can be detected using the [[Benedict's Test]].
====Testing For Glucose====
: [[Glucose]] and other [[monosaccharide]]s can be detected with the [[Benedict's Test]].
=====Method=====
: 1. A sample of food is dissolved in water.
: 2. The solution is added to blue Benedict's solution in a boiling tube.
: 3. The solution is kept at 90°C for up to 10 minutes.
: 4. A colour change indicates the presence of glucose or fructose. If they are present the solution will eventually turn brick red or brown.
