Detailed explanation-1: -Option a is incorrect as glucose is not a protein since it does not consist of essential amino acid units.
Detailed explanation-2: -Galactose is a monosaccharide and has the same chemical formula as glucose, i.e., C6H12O6. It is similar to glucose in its structure, differing only in the position of one hydroxyl group. This difference, however, gives galactose different chemical and biochemical properties to glucose.
Detailed explanation-3: -What are the different types of glucose? The D-isomer, D-glucose, also known as dextrose, is commonly found in nature, but the L-isomer, L-glucose, is not. Hydrolysis of carbohydrates such as dairy sugar (lactose), plant sugar (sacrose), maltose, cellulose, glycogen, etc. can be used to obtain glucose.
