Solution:

  1. Key Idea Chiral centre is also called stereo-centre or stereogenic center.

Linear structure of glucose is as follows :

Fischer formula Number of stereo-centre $\left(\mathrm{C}^{*}\right)=4$.

Cyclic structure of glucose are as follows :

Haworth formula Number of stereo-centre $\left(C^{*}\right)$ in each anomer $=5$.
