For 10 points, name this simple sugar that is the main product of photosynthesis and has chemical formula C6H12O6.
A reduced form of this monomeric molecule is converted to ascorbic acid in the Reichstein Process. When in its ring form, this substance has a hemiacetyl group at its anomeric carbon. The absence of this molecule triggers the use of "ketone bodies" for energy in some organs. This molecule can cross the blood brain barrier, and its interaction with CAP regulates the lac operon. Hexokinase cleaves this molecule in a certain metabolic process, and this carbohydrate is stored in the liver as glycogen.
