This compound and mannose are produced from the Kiliani-Fischer synthesis acting on arabinose. It participates in a feedback system with the lac operon, whereby an environment with plenty of this molecule does not necessitate the need to breakdown lactose. It is stored in the liver in the form of glycogen, and its production is stimulated by the hormone glucagon. For 10 points, identify this simple sugar produced through the process of photosynthesis with the chemical formula C6H12O6.
