What are the similarities and differences between water and glucose?

See the answer below

Explanation:

Both water and glucose contain hydrogen and oxygen. However, glucose has carbon in addition to the two elements. A molecule of glucose has 6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 6 oxygen atoms while a molecule of water has just 2 atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

Both glucose and water are polar molecules.

Water is liquid at room temperature while glucose is a solid at room temperature.

In terms of structures, the overall structure of water is bent while that of glucose may be alpha or beta 6 carbon ring structure.
