Because glucose is an organic molecule.
Wrong, any molecule or atom can be ionized. Organic or inorganic it does not matter. It just requires enough energy to ionize them.
Perhaps you were really asking why it does not ionize in water. This is because all the bonds in glucose are covalent, which is too strong a bond for the dipole charge of the water molecule to separate. To ionize in water a molecule must contain at least one ionic bond, which is weak enough for the dipole charge of the water molecule to easily separate leaving ions.
Also there are plenty of organic molecules containing ionic bonds (in addition to many covalent bonds), these readily ionize in water.

How many ions are in sucrose?
None. Glucose is a covalent compound.
Are salt and glucose electrolytes?
No, salt and glucose are not considered electrolytes. Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, allowing them to conduct electricity. Common electrolytes include sodium, potassium, and chloride ions. Salt, or sodium chloride, does contain electrolytes, but glucose does not.
What is a carbon dioxide used for in the chloroplasts of green plants?
It is used as carbon source. It is used to make glucose
How much nitrogen is needed to make glucose?
There is no nitrogen in glucose.
Where does glucose take place?
Glucose reabsorption takes place in the proximal renal tubule. This tubule is a portion of the nephron that contains fluid. The functions of the nephron include the reabsorption and secretion of various substances like ions, glucose, and amino acids.
What is the electrical conductivity of a glucose solution in water?
Glucose is a non-electrolyte and does not dissociate into ions in water, so it does not conduct electricity well. This is because glucose molecules do not have free ions or charged particles that can move to carry an electric current.
How many ions are in sucrose?
None. Glucose is a covalent compound.
What are examples if substances that are reabsorbed into the blood?
Blood reabsorbs : glucose, amino-acids, sodium ions, potassium ions, chlorine ions, water etc.
How does urine get to the kidney?
The question implies that the urine is already formed prior to arrival at the kidneys. This assumption is inaccurate. Unrine is formed in the kidneys, by the kidneys, when blood is filtered to make a solution of urea, ions, glucose and water. The glucose, along with some of the water and ions, are reabsorbed into the bloodstream, leaving a solution of urea and excess water/ions. This is the urine that we excrete when we pay a visit to the loo.
Which substances passes most readily into a cell ions large molecules glucose carbon dioxide or polar molecules?
Ions
Electric current does not flow through gloucose solution why?
There are no mobile electrically charged particles in a glucose solution that are sufficiently long-lived to transport electric charge from one electrode immersed in a glucose solution to another.
Are salt and glucose electrolytes?
No, salt and glucose are not considered electrolytes. Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, allowing them to conduct electricity. Common electrolytes include sodium, potassium, and chloride ions. Salt, or sodium chloride, does contain electrolytes, but glucose does not.
Why glucose solution cannot conduct electricity?
Glucose does not dissociate into charged ions in water solution, and the only water solutions with high conductivity are those with substantial concentrations of charged ions, such as the solutions of most salts, acids, and bases.
Is glucose c better for you than sugar?
Well glucose IS a type of sugar, so you really cant answer that question.
How many ions are produced when C6H12O6 dissolves in water?
All the simple sugars having the formula C6H12O6 are completely covalently bonded and thus produce no ions when they dissolve.
Why sodium level decrease in diebetic patient?
i think this is because of sodium and glucose transporter the transmembrane protein allow sodium ions and glucose to enter the cell together in the same direction and its used to actively transport glucose out of the intestine and out of the kidney tubules back to blood so in case of diabetes sodium cant be reabsorbed in kidney tubules and go to urine and thus sodium level decrease in diabetic patient
How do you produce Synthetic glucose from air water light and oxygen?
you cant
