Salicin has a six-membered ring very similar to this molecule except that the first carbon is bonded to an oxygen atom in 2-hydroxy-methyl-phenol instead of a hydroxy group. Chitin is a polymer of a type of this molecule in which the second carbon is bonded to a NHCOCH3 group instead of an OH group. Cellulose is a polymer of this molecule linked by beta(1,4) glycosidic bonds. Hexokinase prevents re-export of this molecule, which is processed by insulin and stored in the liver as glycogen. For 10 points, name this simple sugar with formula C6H12O6.
