The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks, "What sugar is glucose?" We need to identify which of the given options (Cane Sugar, Grape Sugar, Malt Sugar, Triose Sugar) is synonymous with glucose. 2. **Analyzing the Options:** - **Cane Sugar:** Cane sugar is also known as sucrose, which has the chemical formula C12H22O11. It is commonly used as table sugar and is not glucose. - **Malt Sugar:** Malt sugar is known as maltose, which is a disaccharide made up of two glucose units. Therefore, maltose is not glucose itself. - **Triose Sugar:** Triose sugars are monosaccharides with three carbon atoms. Glucose is not a triose; it is a hexose (six carbon atoms). - **Grape Sugar:** Grape sugar is another name for glucose (also known as dextrose), which has the chemical formula C6H12O6. It is found in large quantities in grapes and is essential for brain function. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer:** After analyzing each option, we find that Grape Sugar is indeed another name for glucose. Therefore, the correct answer is Grape Sugar. 4. **Final Answer:** The sugar that is glucose is Grape Sugar. ---
