There are big chemical differences between them depending on the exact
geometry of the hydroxyl groups, so there are a lot more different kinds than
you think. We tend to give them trivial names, like “glucose” and “galactose,”
since all their structures look pretty much the same and their systematic
names would be too… These “monosaccharides” can join together to form
disaccharides (two sugars joined together) or larger chemica ...
