Pedro’s teacher wrote the formula for glucose, a common sugar, on the board. Pedro learned that the letters in the formula represent the elements that are in a glucose molecule and that the small subscript numbers in the formula ________ how many atoms of each element are present in a molecule of glucose. By looking at the formula, Pedro determined that each molecule of glucose is made up of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms.
