Glucose (/ˈɡluːkoʊs/ or /-koʊz/; C6H12O6, an aa kent as D-glucose, dextrose, or grape sugar) is a simple monosaccharide foond in plants. It is ane o the three dietary monosaccharides, alang wi fructose an galactose, that are absorbed directly intae the bluidstream durin digestion. An important carbohydrate in biology, cells uise it as the primary soorce o energy an a metabolic intermediate. Glucose is ane o the main products o photosynthesis an fuels for cellular respiration. Glucose exists in several different molecular structures, but aw o these structurs can be dividit intae twa faimilies o mirror-images (stereoisomers). Anly ane set o these isomers exists in naitur, those derived frae the ""richt-haundit furm"" o glucose, denotit D-glucose. D-glucose is sometimes referred tae as dextrose, altho the uise o this name is strangly discouraged. The term dextrose is derived frae dextrorotatory glucose. This name is tharefore confusin when applied tae the enantiomer, which rotates licht in the opposite direction. Starch an cellulose are polymers derived frae the dehydration o D-glucose. The ither stereoisomer, cried L-glucose, is hairdly ever foond in naitur.

The southeast on the road to Paranapiacaba is a large industrial complex. A quarry commenced operations in 1927; the railway communications enabled fast shipment of mined material. In 1931, the ceety o São Paulo signed an agreement wi Licht & Pouer tae provide energy an stend the operation of the quarry. The quarry operations were terminated in the 1970s but the day it is ane o the mucklemaist quarries in Latin America at mair than 640 metres (2,100 ft) lang an 70 metres (230 ft) heich an it is uised as a climmin venue.

Lusaka is the caipital an lairgest ceety o Zambie. It is locatit in the soothren pairt o the central plateau, at an elevation o 1279 m. It haes a population o 3,100,000 (2007 estimate).

The destrict wis creatit in 1938 as the successor o the Oberamt Böblingen, which dates back tae the duchy o Württemberg. In 1973 the majority o the destrict Leonberg as well as a few municipalities o the destrict Calw wur addit tae the destrict, an a few municipalities muivit tae the destrict Ludwigsburg.

The Guangdong Provincial Education Depairtment creatit an offeecial romanization o Moiyen in 1960, ane o fower leids receivin this status in Guangdong.
