Hexoses são monossacarídeos formados por uma cadeia de seis átomos de carbono. Sua fórmula geral é C6H12O6. Sua principal função é produzir energia. Um grama de qualquer hexose produz quatro quilocalorias de energia. As mais importantes do ponto de vista biológico são: glicose, galactose e frutose.
