Glucose - used for Aerobic and Anaerobic respiration. It is also the primary source of energy for the brain, thus when glucose is low, it can make it more difficult to think. Moreover, It is a precursor for Vitamin C.

Glycogen - Is a polysaccharide of glucose, and is stored in the liver when the body needs to regulate blood sugar (Homeostasis). To do this, using Insulin (secreted from the pancreas) it branches the glucose molecules together.

What is the function of lactose in animals?

Lactose is a sugar found in milk that provides energy for young animals. It is broken down into glucose and galactose by an enzyme called lactase in the small intestine, allowing animals to absorb and utilize the sugars for growth and development.Lactose is crucial for the growth and development of young animals, providing energy and nutrients necessary for their survival.


What is function of lactose?

Lactose is broken down by lactase to form galactose and glucose which are then absorbed by the small intestine.


What are the storage and quick energy forms of carbohydrates found in animals and how are these forms structurally related to each other?

They are stored in glycogen, and used for energy. I hope you don't mind that I deleted the "traveling in light waves answer"


What molecules are made up of glucose?

Glucose molecules can join together to form larger molecules such as glycogen (energy storage in animals), starch (energy storage in plants), and cellulose (structural component in plants). Glucose can also react with other molecules to form more complex carbohydrates, such as sucrose and lactose.


What Disaccharide is produced by combining glucose and galactose?

Lactose is the disaccharide produced by combining glucose and galactose.


Does coke have lactose in it?

Cola is lactose free it has no lactose it has glucose in it !


What is the function of lac repressor system in E. coli?

It allows lactose to permeate the cell membrane, and then break bonds with glucose and galactose to use the lactose for food.


How is glucose an important factor in lactose synthesis?

Glucose is important for lactose synthesis because it provides the substrate for the enzyme lactose synthase to combine with galactose to form lactose. Without glucose, there would not be enough substrate available for lactose synthesis to occur efficiently. Additionally, glucose can stimulate the production of lactose synthase enzyme, further promoting lactose synthesis in mammary glands.


What monosaccharides make up lactose?

Lactose is composed of two monosaccharides: glucose and galactose.


Why does lactose-free milk turn up as positive on a glucose strip?

lactose and glucose are not the same! milk contains sugar, and sugar (starch-->glucose) is glucose, so if the milk is lactose free, it still contains glucose and proteins...


Word equation for lactase hydrolyze lactose into glucose?

Lactase catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose into glucose and galactose. This process can be represented by the following word equation: Lactose + Water → Glucose + Galactose.


What is the function of lactose?

Lactose is broken down by lactase to form galactose and glucose which are then absorbed by the small intestine.
