A white powder, we can see it - it's marketed under 'dextrose powder'

It is seeable as starch. A white powder which consists of many molecules of glucose, so a polysaccharide.*

If you mean how the structure would look like, it would look like a hexagon with C-, H- and O-atoms added to it. Or as a C-atom-chain with H-, or O-atom added.*
