Glucose falls under aldoses group of monosaccharides which are one of the carbohydrates.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Generally, a molecule formed by combination of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are termed as carbohydrates. The smallest of the saccharides are mono and disaccharides. The saccharides can contain an aldehyde or a ketone group in their structural formula.

The molecular formula of glucose is C6H12O6. It falls under monosaccharide as the molecular formula of monosaccharides are (CH2nO)n where the n will be 3,5 or 6. So the molecular formula of glucose exactly matches with the molecular formula of monosaccharide family.  

Also, it is known that glucose contains an aldehyde so it can be termed as aldose for being a carbohydrate in monosaccharide family containing aldehyde group.

Answer:

<em>Glucose is nothing but a type of carbohydrate molecule which is also called as </em><em>monosaccharides.</em>

Explanation:

They are the smallest unit or simplest part of Carbohydrates which accumulates and join together to make bigger molecules of carbohydrates, Since these are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

These three elements mix together in given parts to make this smallest part of Carbohydrates or sugar. The Other bigger carbohydrates that are formed with these three elements are disaccharides or sucrose.

Explanation:

Foods produced from or using GM organisms are often referred to as GM foods.

GM foods are developed and marketed because there is some advantage either to the producer or consumer of these GM foods. GM seed developers wanted their products to be accepted by producers and have concentrated on innovations that bring direct benefit to farmers and generally the food industry.

One objective for developing plants based on GM organisms is to improve crop protection. The GM crops currently on the market are mainly aimed at an increased level of crop protection through the introduction of resistance against plant diseases caused by insects or viruses or through increased tolerance towards herbicides.

Resistance against insects is achieved by incorporating into the food plant the gene for toxin production from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. GM crops that inherently produce this toxin have been shown to require lower quantities of insecticides in specific situations, where pest pressure is high.
