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.
Lactose - Information unknown currently.

Are simple sugars made of polysaccharides?
Monosaccharidesand Disaccharides are the simplest form of sugars. An example of aMonosaccharide is Glucose, and an example of a Disaccharide is Lactose. The most common source of these sugars is Fruit.
Sugar in milk?
Lactose
What is the name of the condition when you cant tolerate cows milk?
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, which is found in dairy products.
Is yougart good for cats?
No! They are lactose intolerant!
What is the role of Glycoproteins and glycolipids?
Glycoproteins are the proteins covalently attached to carbohydrates such as glucose, galactose, lactose, fructose, sialic acid, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine, etc. Glycolipids are carbohydrate-attached lipids. Their role is to provide energy and also serve as markers for cellular recognition.The antigens which determine blood types belong to glycoproteins and glycolipids
What is the function of lactose in animals?
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 is function of lactose?
Lactose is broken down by lactase to form galactose and glucose which are then absorbed by the small intestine.
Which one is not naturally occurring sugar?
Lactose, or "milk sugar" which is created in animals.
What is the chemical reaction of glucose?
C H O 6 12 6 Glucose can be made by breaking down starch or other polysaccharides such as glycogen. It can also be made by process of photosynthesis, although humans are unable to perform this function because of the absence of chloroplasts.
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.
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.
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...
Which enzyme catabolyzes lactose sugar into monosacharides?
lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and glucose monomers.
How is glucose an important factor in lactose synthesis?
Lactose is a disaccharide, made up of a bonded glucose and galactose.
What are the products of hydrolysis of maltose?
When a molecule of lactose is hydrolyzed the monomers that had linked together to form lactose will be pulled away from each other through the addition of lactose. Lactose is made from GLUCOSE AND GALACTOSE, henceforth these two monomers will emerge through the hydrolysis of lactose. Hope this helps...
