Molecule Structure Scientific Illustration

This scientific illustration captures a three-dimensional view of a glucose molecule, presented as a ball-and-stick model. It beautifully highlights the molecule's characteristic six-membered ring structure, typical of a pyranose sugar. The dark grey spheres represent carbon atoms, while the red and white spheres show the oxygen and hydrogen atoms respectively, forming the various hydroxyl groups around the ring, essential for its biological functions.
