Alpha-D-glucose hydrate is a monosaccharide and the most common form of glucose, playing a vital role in energy metabolism as the primary energy source for many cells. It is also a building block of larger carbohydrates such as starch and glycogen. The alpha prefix refers to the orientation of the hydroxyl group attached to the first carbon atom. In solution, alpha-D-glucose exists as a hydrate, bound to water molecules.
