This is how I remember how much grams are in a glucose. 

1 carbon = 30 grams
glucose is 6 carbons, so 6*30 = 180 grams.

anonymous · Answer

1 carbon = 30 grams
Nonsense ...  One mole of carbon atoms have a mass of 12.0 grams.
Glucose does not consist of 6 carbon atoms. It also contains oxygen and hydrogen atoms.$$\color{green}{\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6}$$
Find the molar mass of glucose. Then take the mass and divide by the molar mass to find the number of moles.

I just said..... this is how I remember how many grams are in glucose. 

For every carbon, thats 30 grams. Since glucose has 6-carbons.....thats 180 grams. This also applies to 4-chained sugars and even polysaccarides.
